Evaluation of Satellite-Derived Products for the Daily Average and Extreme Rainfall in the Mearim River Drainage Basin (Maranhão, Brazil)
Satellite precipitation estimates are used as an alternative or as a supplement to the records of the in situ stations. Although some satellite precipitation products have reasonably consistent time series, they are often limited to specific geographic areas. The main objective of this study was to...
