| Zusammenfassung |
| Satellites offer an unrivalled vantage point to observe and measure Earth
system processes and parameters. Precipitation (rain and snow) in
particular, benefit from such observations since precipitation is spatially
and temporally highly variable and with satellites overcoming some of the
deficiencies of conventional gauge and radar measurements. This paper
provides an overall review of quantitative precipitation estimation,
covering the basis of the satellite systems used in the observation of
precipitation, the dissemination and processing of this data, and the
generation, availability and validation of these precipitation estimates. A
selection of applications utilising these precipitation estimates are then
outlined to exemplify the utility of such products. |
