Satellite-based rainfall estimates as a driver of river forecasts in Mexico
Michael A Fortune, NOAA/NWS, Silver Spring, MD; and A. R. Teran
We have previously reported on two Satellite Precipitation Estimation (SPE) techniques that will drive National Weather Service (NWS) River Forecast Systems in four watersheds in Mexico. Here we report on the implementation of the NOAA Hydro-Estimator satellite estimation technique in the national meteorological and hydrological services of Mexico in 2003. We recommend methods for integrating satellite and rain gauge observations of precipitation into hydrological forecasting.
