Abstract

The need for frequent observations of precipitation is critical to many hydrological applications. The recently developed high resolution satellite-based precipitation algorithms that generate precipitation estimates at sub-daily scale provide a great potential for such purpose. This chapter describes the concept of developing high resolution Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks-Cloud Classification System (PERSIANN-CCS). Evaluation of PERSIANN-CCS precipitation is demonstrated through the extreme precipitation events from two hurricanes: Ernesto in 2006 and Katrina in 2005. Finally, the global near real-time precipitation data service through the UNESCO G-WADI data server is introduced. The query functions for viewing and accessing the data are included in the chapter.
