General Objective: The objective of this project is to evaluate and optimize precipitation and temperature satellite products using surface meteorological information in order to generate a reliable database for application in environmental and hydrological studies in the binational basins between Ecuador and Peru
Specific objectives:
- Compile and process precipitation and temperature data from satellite products and meteorological stations in the Catamayo-Chira and MayoChinchipe binational basins.
- Evaluate the performance of satellite products by comparing with surface data to determine the best performing product.
- Optimize the best performing satellite product, correcting for bias on a monthly scale using adjustment equations based on surface information.
- Generate a free access spatio-temporal database based on the optimized satellite products.
