The TAMORA algorithm: satellite rainfall estimates over West Africa using multi-spectral SEVIRI data

A multi-spectral rainfall estimation algorithm has been developed for the Sahel region of West Africa with the purpose of producing accumulated rainfall estimates for drought monitoring and food security. Radar data were used to calibrate multi-channel SEVIRI data from MSG, and a probability of rain...
