摘要: AbstractQuantitative understanding of Congo River basin hydrological behavior is poor because the basin’s limited hydrometeorological observation network. In cases such as where ground data are scarce, satellite-based estimates rainfall, those from joint NASA/JAXA Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), can be used to quantify rainfall patterns. This study tests and reports use gauge within Democratic Republic (DRC) recalibrate a TRMM science product (TRMM 3B42, version 6) in characterizing precipitation climate basin. 6, compared adjusted using 12 DRC meteorological stations 1998 2007. Adjustment achieved on monthly scale by regression-tree algorithm. The output new, basin-specific estimate annual types across new latest versio...
