“…let’s not worry about the variations in the nature of the precipitation or about the way in which the instrument averages it; but let’s simply devise an effective technique that encompasses all of these variations in a manner which allows P(Z) to replicate P(R) over a suitable space-time domain.” (Atlas, Rosenfeld and Wolff, 1990)
- What are the appropriate space and time scales over which to capture and track P(R)?
- Statistical technique was meant to be used for rainfall accumulations. On how short of a time scale can it be quantitatively applied?
- Indeed can any satellite technique track short-term (e.g. hourly) variations in rainfall?
