The estimation and analysis of precipitation are crucial for understanding water resource availability, managing flood risk, and improving climate models. Recent advances integrate diverse observation ...

Typhoon Soudelor dropped over two feet of rainfall when it made landfall in China in early August, and soaked Taiwan. NASA estimated that rainfall using data from the Global Precipitation Measurement ...

The way the federal government analyzes intense rain events isn’t keeping up with the reality of climate change, and that has serious implications for infrastructure projects and the availability of, ...

A critical federal analysis of extreme rainfall is vastly underestimating the chances of flood events, with grave implications for everything from new roads and bridges to the rising cost of flood ...

Climate change is supercharging the water cycle, leading to heavier rainfall extremes in many parts of the U.S. Heavy rains contribute to the risk of flooding—which can cause illness, injury and death ...

Have you noticed that when it rains it often rains a lot? It's not your imagination. When a weather pattern supports rain, the probability that heavy rain, and in some cases buckets of excessive rain, ...

Correlation analysis between precipitable water vapor (PWV) and precipitation over China was conducted by combining high-quality PWV data based on 1999–2015 ground-based global positioning system (GPS ...

A NASA rainfall analysis estimated the amount of rainfall generated by Hurricane Matthew when it moved over the Carolinas. Hurricane Matthew dropped a lot of rain, caused flooding and deaths in the ...
