AMWG diags: Long-term satellite-based Precipitation Product #490

Closed cecilehannay closed 7 years ago

cecilehannay commented 7 years ago

Regarding the rainfall product I told you about, as part of my dissertation, a long-term global rainfall precipitation product using the historical archive of infrared observations from multiple satellites (ISCCP GridSat-B1), and climatology information from a NASA GPCP, was developed. The product is called Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Network - Climate Data Record (PERSIANN-CDR). PERSIANN-CDR provides rainfall estimations at Daily and at 0.25 degree resolution from 1983 – 2014 (delayed present). PERSIANN-CDR is now part of the U.S. national Data Record Program and is now available via the NOAA NCDC servers. You can find PERSIANN-CDR via the following link under the "Atmospheric CDRs" category. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) | Climate Data Records (CDR) Program

The paper of this work has recently been accepted to be published at the Bulletin of American Meteorological Society (BAMS). I have attached the paper for your perusal. It is also accessible from here. AMS Journals Online - PERSIANN-CDR: Daily Precipitation Climate Data Record from Multi-Satellite Observations for Hydrological and Climate Studies

Regarding the Precipitation related slides that you showed, It would be great if we can see how PERSIANN-CDR performs in seeing the extremes in your research on interest. In fact, one thing I hope I can do is on the application of PERSIANN-CDR in evaluating climate models’ simulations in capturing historical rainfall patterns, as well as extreme events. It would be my great pleasure to collaborate with you and others at NCAR on this and I would be more than happy to help you with the data and other things.

Please let me know what you think.

Sincerely,

Hamed

P.S. The other part of my dissertation was to use satellite-based observation to study climate and precipitation extremes, such as flood, drought, hurricanes, tropical cyclones. I was humbled to receive a NASA fellowship for my proposal to NASA on studying extreme precipitation events using satellite-based observation, considering the impacts of climate change.
