Satellite rainfall applications for surface hydrology. Gebremichael, M. & Hossain, F. 2010.
abstract   bibtex   
Global precipitation, temperature, soil moisture, vegetation health, and lake water heights data sets are several operational data sets continuously monitored by crop analysts from the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) of USDA to identify global weather and vegetation health anomalies that may affect national crop yield and production in foreign countries. Three relatively new satellite-derived precipita- tion data setswere recently introduced into theUSDA/FAS cropmonitoring system, along with two new soil moisture products that utilize passive microwave (PMW). Comparison results indicate no operational global precipitation data set is correct at all times for all geographic areas and those that combine station gauge (SG), polar- orbiting passive microwave and geo-stationary infrared (IR) data tend to perform better.
