| Zusammenfassung |
| We show an algorithm to construct a rain-gauge-based analysis of daily
precipitation for the Middle East. One of the key points of our algorithm is
to construct an accurate distribution of climatology. One possible advantage
of this product is to validate high-resolution climate models and/or to
diagnose the impact of climate changes on local hydrological resources. Many
users are familiar with a monthly precipitation dataset (New et al., 1999)
and a satellite-based daily precipitation dataset (Huffman et al., 2001),
yet our data set, unlike theirs, clearly shows the effect of orography on
daily precipitation and other extreme events, especially over the Fertile
Crescent region. Currently the Middle-East precipitation analysis product is
consisting of a 25-year data set for 1979–2003 based on more than 1300
stations. |
