The daily rainfall is the most important and demanded input of water resources studies,
challenged by typically low density and/or poor quality of in-situ observations. However, the …

Southern Africa has been strongly affected by ongoing climate change in recent decades.
Rainfall variability is modulated by regional patterns of moisture advection and convergence …

In this research, the performance of satellite rainfall estimates (SREs) for crop growth
simulation was investigated. Rainfall products selected were CHIRPS 2.0, CMORPH 1.0 …

Flood peaks and volumes are essential design variables and can be simulated by
precipitation–runoff (P–R) modelling. The high-resolution precipitation time series that are …

The impacts of climate change (CC) are expected to be higher in developing countries (eg
Sub-Saharan Africa). However, these impacts will depend on agriculture development and …

Satellite rainfall estimates (SRE) offer spatial-temporal rainfall representations in regions
with limited ground-based gauge rainfall measurements. However, differences exist …

In this chapter, we present an overview of the role of satellite-based rainfall estimates
(SREs) in drought risk management applications, ranging from simple anomaly and index …

Climate change is expected to have far-reaching impacts on food security. Such impacts are
likely to be higher in developing countries. This paper analyses the state of research on the …

In arid and semi-arid regions, water scarcity is nowadays a primary challenge, because of
continuously increasing spatio-temporal rainfall variability and high evapotranspiration, both …

Throughout the last decades, southern Africa has become increasingly vulnerable to
weather variability, which affects moisture advection and convergence in the lower levels of …
