In developing countries, accurate rainfall estimation with adequate spatial distribution is limited due to sparse rain gauge networks. One way solve this problem the use of satellite-based precipitation products. These satellite products have significant coverage estimates and it fundamental importance investigate their performance across space–time scales factors that affect uncertainties. open literature, some studies already analyzed ability estimate average values. investigations found...
This study aims to analyze the climatological classification of precipitating clouds in Northeast Brazil using radar on board Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. Thus, for this research a time series 15 years satellite data (period 1998–2012) was analyzed order identify what types produce precipitation estimated by Precipitation Radar (PR) and how often these occur. From results work it possible estimate average relative frequency each type cloud present weather systems...
The São Francisco River basin is one of the largest in Brazilian territory. This has enormous economic, social and cultural importance for country. Its water used human animal supply, irrigation energy production. located an area with different climatic characteristics (humid semiarid) studies related to precipitation are very important this region. In scenario, objective investigation present assessment rainfall estimated through Integrated Multi-SatellitE Retrievals Global Precipitation...
The number of natural disasters triggered by extreme events is increasing worldwide and significantly impacts modern society. Extreme rainfall one the most important factors contributing to these events. A better understanding physical process that causes can allow rapid responses from decision-makers lessen impact on local population. Satellite monitoring widely used for this purpose essential regions where terrestrial observations are limited or non-existent. primary study describe...
The main objective of this study is to assess the ability several high-resolution satellite-based precipitation estimates represent Precipitation Diurnal Cycle (PDC) over Brazil during 2014–2018 period, after launch Global Measurement satellite (GPM). selected algorithms are Satellite Mapping (GSMaP), Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) and Climate Prediction Center (CPC) MORPHing technique (CMORPH). Hourly rain gauge data from different national regional networks were used...
Abstract The climate modeling techniques of event attribution enable systematic assessments the extent that anthropogenic change may be altering probability or magnitude extreme events. In consecutive years 2018, 2019, and 2020, rainfalls caused repeated flooding impacts in lower Parnaíba River Northeastern Brazil. We studied effect alterations precipitation resulting from human influences on had likelihood using two ensembles HadGEM3‐GA6 atmospheric model: one driven by both natural...
A estação chuvosa nas regiões Sudeste e Centro-Oeste do Brasil é o objeto de estudo da presente pesquisa, que incide sobre a caracterização das condições atmosféricas umidade fluxos calor (latente sensível) nos momentos precedem início chuvas nessas para período 2000-2010. Dados reanálise água precipitável Climate Forcast Reanalysis System (CFSR) foram utilizados identificar chuvosa, usando metodologia proposta por Zeng Lu (2004). Esta utiliza Índice Normalizado Água Precipitável (NPWI),...
