Reduced rainfall increases the risk of forest dieback, while in return forest loss might
intensify regional droughts. The consequences of this vegetation–atmosphere feedback for …

As the successor of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), the Global
Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission significantly improves the spatial resolution of …

Continental moisture recycling is a crucial process of the South American climate system. In
particular, evapotranspiration from the Amazon basin contributes substantially to …

We assess the water balance of the Brazilian Cerrado based on remotely sensed estimates
of precipitation (TRMM), evapotranspiration (MOD16), and terrestrial water storage (GRACE) …

The measure of atmospheric model performance is highly dependent on the quality of the
observations used in the evaluation process. In the particular case of operational forecast …

The availability of accurate rainfall data at proper temporal and spatial scales is vital for
knowledge of renewable water resources and safe withdrawals for irrigation. Rain gauge …

The precipitation estimates from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multi-
satellite Precipitation Analysis (named TMPA and TMPA-RT for the near real-time version) …

Automatically detecting forest disturbances as they occur can be extremely challenging for
certain types of environments, particularly those presenting strong natural variations. Here …

The accuracy of three satellite rainfall products (TMPA 3B42RT, CMORPH and PERSIANN)
was investigated through comparison with grid cell average ground station rainfall data in …

Satellite-dericed rainfall products are useful for both drought and environmental monitoring,
and they also allow for tackling the problems of sparse, unevenly distributed and arratic rain …
