description Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) products, as important satellite-based precipitation products (SPPs) of Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, have provided hydrologists with critical precipitation data sources for hydrological applications in gauge-sparse or ungauged basins. This study statistically and hydrologically evaluated the latest GPM-era GSMaP SPPs in real-, near-real- and post-real-time versions at daily and hourly temporal scales in the sparsely gauged Yellow River source region (YRSR) in China.
