In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of the data sources and estimation
methods of 30 currently available global precipitation data sets, including gauge‐based …

A great deal of expertise in satellite precipitation estimation has been developed during the
Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) era (1998–2015). The quantification of errors …

Reanalysis precipitation products are important datasets for precipitation estimates over
ungauged areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the newly …

New precipitation (P) datasets are released regularly, following innovations in weather
forecasting models, satellite retrieval methods, and multi-source merging techniques. Using …

We undertook a comprehensive evaluation of 22 gridded (quasi-) global (sub-) daily
precipitation (P) datasets for the period 2000–2016. Thirteen non-gauge-corrected P …

Current global precipitation (P) datasets do not take full advantage of the complementary
nature of satellite and reanalysis data. Here, we present Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble …

The launch of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission has prompted the
assessment of the newly released satellite precipitation products (SPPs) in different parts of …

Precipitation is an important component of the hydrological cycle and has significant impact
on ecological environment and social development, especially in arid areas where water …

Precipitation is the main component of global water cycle. At present, satellite quantitative
precipitation estimates (QPEs) are widely applied in the scientific community. However, the …

Gridded precipitation products have the advantages of wide spatial coverage and high
spatiotemporal resolution compared to conventional rain-gauge data, and have been …
