Precipitation and Rainfall

Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation. A geospatially derived precipitation and rainfall map is a type of spatial dataset that represents the distribution of rainfall or precipitation over a given area. This type of map is typically created using geographic information systems (GIS) technology, and is based on data obtained from satellite observations. Precipitation and rainfall maps can provide valuable information for a wide range of purposes, such as for understanding the distribution of water resources, for studying the impacts of rainfall on the environment and local communities, or for supporting the planning and management of land resources.
