文摘

Availability of high-resolution satellite rainfall products provides a great opportunity to monitor precipitation frequently over large and remote areas. However, the accuracies of these products need thorough assessment before they can be widely used. The objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracies of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis 3B42 products (TMPA V6 and TMPA V7) using a network of 75 rain gauges over Southwestern China. The study region has a complex terrain, which makes it challenging for TMPA rainfall products to give reliable estimates. The results show that the TMPA products tend to underestimate the occurrences of rainfall events. Furthermore, TMPA V6 always underestimates the precipitation, while V7 generally overestimates rainfall in wet season and underestimates it in dry season. Under- and overestimation of rainfall by the two products can be mainly attributed to false alarm events. The overall accuracies of the two products depend heavily on the time scale. At the daily scale, these products may not be reliable; however, the overall accuracies are improved substantially when the time scale is extended from daily to monthly and seasonal scales. Reliability of the TMPA precipitation estimates is also dependent on the climate zones and elevation to some extent and shows clear seasonal variations. In the wet months from May to September, the estimates for TMPA 3B42 V6 and V7 tend to be more accurate. In comparison, the accuracy of V7 is improved slightly over V6. However, V7 still has some major limitations in reproducing precipitation in dry seasons and in high-elevation regions with complex terrains, suggesting that further improvements in TMPA precipitation retrieval algorithms are still needed for this type of regions.
