High-resolution IMERG satellite precipitation data data (1km) in Iberia Peninsula
<p>In summary, the SMPD method with the use of surface water balance principle has a solider physical basis than previous downscaling methods. Through introducing SSM as an auxiliary variable, the impact of inherent bias in satellite estimates on the downscaled results can be moderately reduced compared to the conventional statistical method. The validation with rain gauge data highlights the importance of SSM as a fully independent source of information that can be effectively used for downscaling coarse-resolution precipitation at a daily scale, which is rarely conducted in current related studies.</p> <p>He, K., Zhao, W., Brocca, L., and Quintana-Seguí, P.: SMPD: a soil moisture-based precipitation downscaling method for high-resolution daily satellite precipitation estimation, Hydrol.
