Evaluating satellite and reanalysis rainfall estimates for climate services in agriculture: a comprehensive methodology
High-resolution rainfall estimates from satellite and reanalysis data sources (SRE) could play a major role in improving climate services for agriculture. This is particularly relevant in regions that predominantly rely on rain-fed farming but lack a dense network of ground-based measurements to provide localised historical climate information, as in most of the Global South. However, there is a need for a framework which practitioners can use to determine the suitability of these estimated dat…
