Validation of Satellite Rainfall Estimates over Equatorial East Africa

Simon Ageet et al.

Summary: This study evaluates gauge-calibrated satellite rainfall estimates (SREs) using a unique daily rainfall dataset from equatorial East Africa. The results show that SREs reproduce the annual rainfall pattern and seasonal rainfall cycle well, but exhibit biases. IMERG performs best at shorter temporal scales, while MSWEPv2.2 and CHIRPS perform best at monthly and annual time steps, respectively. All the SREs miss a significant number of daily extreme rainfall events.

Spatial and temporal variability of rainfall over the Republic of Djibouti from 1946 to 2017

Omar Assowe Dabar et al.

Summary: This study investigates the spatial and temporal variability of rainfall in the Republic of Djibouti using data from 14 weather stations and high-resolution satellite rainfall products. It identifies two distinct regions of rainfall variability in the eastern and western parts of the country. ERA5, CHIRPS, and PERSIANN datasets are best able to reproduce rainfall patterns in Djibouti, making them suitable for further analysis.
