DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosres.2018.08.028
Abstract: Abstract The rain gage networks in the African countries are notorious for their poor density and low frequency of observations. Rainfall products based on satellite estimates and/or ground observations have proven to be a viable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl090237
Abstract: Efficient quantification of conditional errors in radar rainfall (RR) products requires a realistic model of random error distribution. Nonparametric estimate of the probability density function (pdf) of standardized RR errors is obtained using a large… read more here.
