  • Evaluation of Multiple Satellite Precipitation Products and Their Use in Hydrological Modelling Over the Luanhe River Basin, China
    water Article Evaluation of Multiple Satellite Precipitation Products and Their Use in Hydrological Modelling over the Luanhe River Basin, China Peizhen Ren, Jianzhu Li *, Ping Feng, Yuangang Guo and Qiushuang Ma State Key Laboratory of Hydraulic Engineering Simulation and Safety, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300350, China; [email protected] (P.R.); [email protected] (P.F.); [email protected] (Y.G.); [email protected] (Q.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-136-2215-1558 Received: 26 March 2018; Accepted: 14 May 2018; Published: 24 May 2018 Abstract: Satellite precipitation products are unique sources of precipitation measurement that overcome spatial and temporal limitations, but their precision differs in specific catchments and climate zones. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the precipitation data derived from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42RT, TRMM 3B42, and Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN) products over the Luanhe River basin, North China, from 2001 to 2012. Subsequently, we further explore the performances of these products in hydrological models using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model with parameter and prediction uncertainty analyses. The results show that 3B42 and 3B42RT overestimate precipitation, with BIAs values of 20.17% and 62.80%, respectively, while PERSIANN underestimates precipitation with a BIAs of −6.38%. Overall, 3B42 has the smallest RMSE and MAE and the highest CC values on both daily and monthly scales and performs better than PERSIANN, followed by 3B42RT. The results of the hydrological evaluation suggest that precipitation is a critical source of uncertainty in the SWAT model, and different precipitation values result in parameter uncertainty, which propagates to prediction and water resource management uncertainties.

And it was indeed a fortunate coincidence that the ninth session of the WMO Executive Committee – known today as the WMO Executive Council (EC) – was in progress precisely at this moment, for the EC members were very quick to realize that satellite technology held the promise to expand the volume of meteorological data and to fill the notable gaps where land-based observations were not readily available.

  • Aqua: an Earth-Observing Satellite Mission to Examine Water and Other Climate Variables Claire L
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING, VOL. 41, NO. 2, FEBRUARY 2003 173 Aqua: An Earth-Observing Satellite Mission to Examine Water and Other Climate Variables Claire L. Parkinson Abstract—Aqua is a major satellite mission of the Earth Observing System (EOS), an international program centered at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Aqua satellite carries six distinct earth-observing instruments to measure numerous aspects of earth’s atmosphere, land, oceans, biosphere, and cryosphere, with a concentration on water in the earth system. Launched on May 4, 2002, the satellite is in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 705 km, with a track that takes it north across the equator at 1:30 P.M. and south across the equator at 1:30 A.M. All of its earth-observing instruments are operating, and all have the ability to obtain global measurements within two days. The Aqua data will be archived and available to the research community through four Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs). Index Terms—Aqua, Earth Observing System (EOS), remote sensing, satellites, water cycle. I. INTRODUCTION AUNCHED IN THE early morning hours of May 4, 2002, L Aqua is a major satellite mission of the Earth Observing System (EOS), an international program for satellite observa- tions of earth, centered at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) [1], [2]. Aqua is the second of the large satellite observatories of the EOS program, essentially a sister satellite to Terra [3], the first of the large EOS observatories, launched in December 1999.

    |00000575|| J. Geophys. 42, 591 - 598, 1977 Journal of Geophysics Radial Variation of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field between 0.3 AU and 1.0 AU Observations by the Helios-I Spacecraft G. Musmann, F.M. Neubauer and E. Lammers Institut for Geophysik and Meteorologie, Technische Universitiit Braunschweig, Mendelssohnstr. lA, D-3300 Braunschweig, Federal Republic of Germany Abstract. We have investigated the radial dependence of the radial and azimuthal components and the magnitude of the interplanetary magnetic field obtained by the Technical University of Braunschweig magnetometer experiment on-board of Helios-1 from December 10, 1974 to first perihelion on March 15, 1975. Absolute values of daily averages of each quantity have been employed. The regression analysis based on power laws leads to 2.55 y x r- 2 · 0 , 2.26 y x r- i.o and F = 5.53 y x r- i. 6 with standard deviations of 2.5 y, 2.0 y and 3.2 y for the radial and azimuthal components and magnitude, respectively. Here r is the radial distance from the sun in astronomical units. The results are compared with results obtained for Mariners 4, 5 and 10 and Pioneers 6 and 10. The differences are probably due to different epochs in the solar cycle and the different statistical techniques used. Key words: Interplanetary magnetic field - Helios-1 results. Introduction The study of the vanat10n of the components and magnitude of the in­ terplanetary magnetic field with heliocentric distance is very intersting at the present time. The mission of Mariner 10 to the inner solar system to a heliocentric distance of 0.46 AU and the missions of Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 to the outer solar system to heliocentric distances beyond 5 AU have provided new data over a wide range of heliocentric distance.
