EPPrePMex, A Real-time Rainfall Estimation System Based on GOES-IR Satellite Imagery Jorge Sánchez-Sesma Marco Antonio Sosa Chiñas* IPWG, October 2004, Monterey, California, USA
Theory and Techniques • Georeference • (IR Brightness)-(Cloud Top Temperature) Relationship • The Convective and Stratiform Technique (CST) • Storm Localization and Assesment
Convective and Stratiform Technique (CST) • Detection of Convective, stratiform and cirrus clouds • Tmin < 253°K • For each convective storm its intensity, rC, is: • Over an area • Where rC = rC0 - rC1 TC
Convective and Stratiform Technique (CST)(Storm radius)-(Cloud top temperature) A Relationship for Mexico
Implementation • Algorithm • Images • Products • Webpage

Graphical Binnacle • A graphical binnacle displays the processed images. Each dot indicate a processed image and its size indicates the number of storms.
Web page • A web page was designed and instaled in the same server nimbus, in which EPPrePMex is running in IMTA´s Offices. • Its adress is http://nimbus.imta.mx • It is working since the summer 1999.
Evaluation • NOAA comparison 1998-1999 • Site comparison 1997-2002 • Basin comparison 1997-2002
Evaluation • In 1998 the NOAA has made a comparison of estimated (Autoestimator and EPPrePMex) and measured daily accumulated rainfalls for Southern Texas
Evaluation Correlation between EPPrePMex estimations & RFCwide stations measurements of daily rainfall for July-Oct 1999
Evaluation Correlation between EPPrePMex estimations & NW Mexico stations measurements of daily rainfall for July-Oct 1998
Evaluation Rainfall measurements made by the operational hydrological network
Evaluation Measured (gage) Estimated (GOES satellite) A B INCOMPATIBLE A’ B’ COMPATIBLE
Present Research • Operational rainfall estimation based of GOES-12 and GOES-10, radars and weather stations • Real-time Calibration of rainfall estimation with satellites and radar • Detection and analysis of MCC • Clasification of storms • Calibration of GOES based estimation with other satellites (Tiros, SSMI, TRMM, Acqua, etc). • Integration with modern (distributed) hydrological models (MIT and others)
GOES-12 complemented with GOES-10 During eclipses GOES-10 imagery will complement GOES-12.
