PEHRPP Activities 1.Regional comparisons 2.High time resolution comparisons 3.Very high quality field programs 4."Big picture" comparisons –Catch any artifacts not noticed in detailed statistics of above suites obvious systematic changes on a latitude line, related to availability of certain data types changes in time series, related to data availability –Validation of large-scale quantities and characteristics against bulk quantities, existing products (GPCP, CMAP, etc.), streamflow data sets, water budgets, and subjective judgment –Focus on thousands of kilometers and monthly time scales

Goals of PEHRPP Project Characterize errors in various high resolution precipitation products (HRPP) on many spatial and temporal scales, over varying surfaces and climatic regimes Enable developers of HRPP to improve their products and potential users to understand the relevant characteristics of the products Define data requirements and computing resources needed for retrospective processing of HRPP

What Causes these Differences? Errors in the source data –HRPP rely heavily on rainfall estimates from passive microwave sensors –The amount/types of passive microwave data vary between techniques (i.e. some use SSM/I only while others use a combination of data from sensors of various resolution/quality) –HRPP use different microwave retrieval algorithms, which often exhibit significant regional and/or time-dependent differences –Calibration issues between data sources can lead to differences between various techniques (e.g. SSM/I TDR vs RSS, AMSR-E L1B vs. L2A). Errors due to method and/or assumptions used to combine data –Differences in method used to compute/adjust IR estimates (e.g. intensity based on temperature or interpolated microwave estimates etc.) –Assumptions regarding quality of microwave data may vary

Summary There are significant regional and time-dependent differences between rainfall estimates from current passive microwave algorithms, which arise from assumptions in the retrieval algorithms. Due to the non-parametric nature of current passive microwave retrieval algorithms, the application of a given algorithm to sensors with differing characteristics may also lead to significant biases. Differences in calibration between satellites/sensors can lead to significant differences in rainfall estimates (.e.g. 20% differences in tropical mean rainfall between TDR and L1C SSM/I data) Significant unresolved differences remain between SSM/I rainfall estimates from F13, F14, and F15, which is due to a combination of physical differences (e.g. diurnal cycle) and calibration differences. Level 1C project is a GPM prototype system designed to address inconsistencies between data sources and to enhance usability for algorithm developers (Details provided in afternoon talk by Kummerow).
