Program for the Evaluation of High Resolution Precipitation Products (PEHRPP) coordinated by ESSIC and NRL. Goal is to compare and to validate these high resolution datasets. 3rd INTERNATIONAL PRECIPITATION WORKING GROUP WORKSHOP 23-27 October 2006, Melbourne, Australia
SPWR RAINFALL ESTIMATES X CMORPH, TRMM, PERSIANN and NRL- BLENDED (m) São Paulo, Brazil. 3rd INTERNATIONAL PRECIPITATION WORKING GROUP WORKSHOP 23-27 October 2006, Melbourne, Australia
SPWR DATASETS: 10/2005 TO 03/2006; SATELLITE PRECIPITATION DATA: 0.25 DEGREE X 3-HOUR; SYSTEM TYPES: COLD FRONT, RAIN BANDS, ORDINARY CONVECTION, SQUALL LINES 3rd INTERNATIONAL PRECIPITATION WORKING GROUP WORKSHOP 23-27 October 2006, Melbourne, Australia

ORDINARY CONVECTION 3rd INTERNATIONAL PRECIPITATION WORKING GROUP WORKSHOP 23-27 October 2006, Melbourne, Australia
OVERALL RESULTS All data sets available 10/05 to 03/06 0,1 mm 0,2 mm 1,0 mm 4,0 mm 3rd INTERNATIONAL PRECIPITATION WORKING GROUP WORKSHOP 23-27 October 2006, Melbourne, Australia
Coordinate discrepancies; Phase and amplitude errors; All four methods yielded poor results; Radar rainfall accumulation higher than satellite ones; Radar data with range effect and other problems; Best performance for low rainfall accumulation: CMORPH; Best performance for higher accumulation: PERSIANN; Fewer data for PERSIANN; All methods are limited; Need for rain gauges and stream gauges verification.
