Remote Sensing for Essential Biodiversity Variables

RIver flow monitoring and Discharge Estimation

 Evaluation of Future Atmospheric Mission Concepts to Monitor Precipitation

The Raincast project is a multi-platform and multi-sensor study to address the requirement from the research and operational communities for global precipitation measurements. Raincast aims at identifying and consolidating the science requirements for a satellite mission that could complement the existing space-based precipitation observing system and that could optimally liaise with efforts currently made by other agencies in this area (especially by NASA andJAXA).
