I want to relate bird diversity and abundance with rainfall data of 7 years. I have downloaded data from 2009 to 2014. The problem is that i am not getting data for rainfall of 2015. Kindly suggest some sources.
The Water Cycle Integrator of the eartH2Observe project have several gauge interpolation, gauge adjusted satellite and reanalysis precipitation data at

However, validation of precipitataion is important before application, not only by just comparing the data with observed time series (with raingauge data or hydrological modelling) but also comparing certain features of the time series is important.
We publish this short article in a early career journal evaluating two P global products recently produce making the assessment with some precipitation indexes.

If you use Precipitation from remote sensing products, you can improve their performance using local raingauges. The merging algorithm described in this work have proved to be successful in reducing the remote sensed field error. In the paper the parameters of the merging are analyzed against the raingauges density so that one defines their value with the features of the local raingauge network and, therefore, one will not need to perform a calibration procedure.

Hi. You can extent the time frame of data that you have by merging information. Want to improve the performance of your hydrological model on a scarce data basin?!! We introduce you to our new article where a satellite-reanalysis-gauge merging algorithm is detailed.Article Improving Rainfall Fields in Data-Scarce Basins: Influence o...
