  1. CHG rainfall products Make best possible rainfall products for monitoring crop stress in areas of rain fed agriculture. Objectives:

  2. CHG rainfall products Make best possible rainfall products for monitoring crop stress in areas of rain fed agriculture. Objectives: Results: CHIRP (1981 - present) and FTIP (2000 - present) Global unbiased 0.05 degree pentads available with 2 day lag tinyurl.com/chg-products

  3. CHG rainfall products Make best possible rainfall products for monitoring crop stress in areas of rain fed agriculture. Objectives: Results: CHIRP (1981 - present) and FTIP (2000 - present) Global unbiased 0.05 degree pentads available with 2 day lag tinyurl.com/chg-products Improved Results: CHIRP/FTIP blended with station data, 1 pentad lag

  4. Quick overview of how we get there… • Start with long term monthly average rainfall maps FCLIM • Aside: build monthly models of rainfall trained on TRMM-V7 • derive coefficients a and b, such that rain rate = a * CCD + b (IRP) • where CCD is the percentage of observation where IR temp < threshold • Calculate IRP pentads from CPC IR data (2000 - present) and B1 IR data (1981 - 2008) • CHIRP (1981-present) = FCLIM * (IRP %normal) • Use TRMM-RT7 data (2000 - present) • FTIP (2000-present) = FCLIM * (IRP %normal + TRMM-RT7 %normal)/2 • SPACE TIME

  8. Validation analysis Season time series (2001 – 2011) JFM [J1+F1, J1+M1, F1+M1, …, J11+F11, J11+M11, F11+M11] . . . JAS [J1+A1, J1+S1, A1+S1, …, J11+A11, J11+S11, A11+S11] . . . NDJ [N1+D1, N1+J2, D1+J2, …, N11+D11, N11+nan, D11+nan] • for each data set to validate, CHIRP, FTIP, TRMM, ECMWF… • build cubes of 2 month totals based on growing season. time series time series FTIP ‘True’ latitude latitude longitude longitude correlation bias ratio mean absolute error misses

  13. CHG Station Climate Database • Daily rainfall observations from many public and private sources going back to the 1800’s • Currently ~950,000 records in db • Used to create spatially interpolated fields • Challenge identifying duplicates, non-zero zeroes • Constantly topping off db from available sources • Blended into satellite rainfall products

  18. Summary • 2 rainfall products, CHIRP (1981-present) & FTIP (2000-present) • Global, 0.05º, unbiased, pentads with 2 day lag. • Compare very well with existing rainfall products. • Developing an extensive station rainfall database • Used to blend station data with CHIRP and FTIP
