Various open access precipitation products are made available for several applications.
Evaluating the reliability of these precipitation datasets can be of great importance for both …

Hydro-climatological study is difficult in most of the developing countries due to the paucity
of monitoring stations. Gridded climatological data provides an opportunity to extrapolate …

Comparative analyses were carried out on observational rainfall datasets over the Niger
Delta region using six locations within the area for a period of 24 years (1981-2004) …

Multi-satellite rainfall observations are compared with ground-based meteorological stations
data in this study. Both ground and satellite meteorological datasets were analysed and …

Accurate and consistent rainfall observations are vital for climatological studies in support of
better agricultural and water management decision-making and planning. In East Africa …

Understanding the variability of rainfall is important for sustaining rain-dependent agriculture
and driving the local economy of Nigeria. Paucity and inadequate rain gauge network …

In the frame of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (AMMA) programme, a
