Summary: The study focused on the diurnal variations of precipitation in Taiwan, evaluating the performance of four near-real-time multiple-satellite precipitation products from the GPM mission. Results showed that all NRT MSPPs underestimated daily mean and anomalies of precipitation, with IMERG products performing better than GSMaP products in most cases. IMERG-E was found to be the most accurate NRT product in depicting the diurnal precipitation characteristics in Taiwan during the studied period. The general bias in the NRT MSPPs was attributed to limitations of passive microwave sensors and infrared precipitation algorithms in capturing certain aspects of diurnal precipitation formation.

Summary: To evaluate future flood risks, the results of a hydrological model based on simulated data from a climate model need to be analyzed. This study focuses on the technological and policy aspects of future flood management in South Korea. By using the HadGEM3-RA regional climate model to predict future extreme rainfall events and the regional quantile delta mapping (RQDM) method to correct inherent biases in climate models, changes in flood quantiles are assessed based on two representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) scenarios. A regional frequency analysis (RFA) is applied to estimate rainfall quantiles as input data for a rainfall-runoff model. The flood quantiles for five major river basins in South Korea are then simulated using the HEC-1 (rainfall-runoff) model to calculate quantitative variations.

Summary: This study systematically evaluated the performance of four gridded precipitation datasets in mainland China and found that all the products perform better in low-latitude areas and worse in high-latitude mountainous regions. Satellite-based precipitation estimations and reanalysis precipitation estimations have their own advantages and disadvantages, with satellite estimations performing better in summer and reanalysis estimations performing better in winter. The poorer performance of reanalysis precipitation is mainly due to false precipitation.

Summary: This study utilized a Random Forest (RF) machine-learning algorithm to merge multiple satellite precipitation products, producing new grid-based daily precipitation data for South Korea. The results indicate that the RF model is more effective than statistical merging methods, especially in areas with sparse data.

Summary: This work explores how the diurnal and annual cycles of Earth affect land surface temperature variations and proposes a method for quantifying the dynamics of annual and diurnal temperature simultaneously. The method is validated using data from continental Europe, demonstrating the impact of climate and surface conditions on the temperature profiles and showing an excellent agreement between satellite-derived and in-situ data.

Summary: The interseasonal and interbasins hydrological coupling between the Amazon and La Plata watersheds was analyzed using various datasets, confirming the interconnected hydrological processes between the two basins. The study found that precipitation in the southeastern region of the Amazon Basin at the end of the South American monsoon influences winter precipitation in the central-western region of the La Plata Basin.

Summary: Precipitation patterns are expected to change in the future climate, with reductions in annual precipitation and increases in dry days projected for central Chile under a high greenhouse gas emission scenario. Future projections for Peru and southern Brazil are more uncertain, with the sign of precipitation projections potentially changing with increasing model resolution.

Summary: This study assessed the accuracies of four satellite-based precipitation products (SPPs) in the Himalayan Mountains of Pakistan. The results showed that the PERSIANN and PERSIANN-DIR products performed better in tracing the spatio-temporal distribution of precipitation. The estimates of all SPPs were more consistent with the reference data on a monthly scale. PERSIANN and PERSIANN-DIR also showed better performances on a seasonal scale compared to PERSIANN-CDR and PERSIANN-CCS. However, all SPPs were less accurate in sensing daily light to medium intensity precipitation events.

Summary: Satellite precipitation products (SPPs) are important for improving catchment water resource management and hydrologic modeling, especially in data-sparse regions. A systematic evaluation of eight popular SPPs was conducted, and the results show that GSMaP and MSWEP are the best-performing SPPs, while CHIRPS and SM2RAIN perform poorly. GSMaP provides the closest agreement with observations and is superior in depicting the rainfall-runoff relationship compared to other SPPs.

Summary: Understanding the nature and origin of errors in satellite precipitation products is important for applications and product improvement. A new error decomposition scheme is proposed to characterize satellite errors, attributing errors to the inaccuracies in event occurrence, timing, and intensity. The study applies the method to a test product and finds that the listed factors contribute differently to the total bias and errors are asymmetric in the temporal distribution throughout events. This error decomposition scheme provides insight into sources of error for improved retrievals.

Summary: Future precipitation changes are influenced by the energy budget of the atmosphere, with temperature, water vapor, and absorbing aerosols playing major roles in driving radiative changes. The impact of aerosol cleanup on precipitation is larger than the influence of changes in atmospheric circulation, indicating the significant importance of policy choices regarding absorbing aerosol emissions.

Summary: The study analyzed the interdecadal changes in the diurnal cycle of summertime rainfall over coastal South China from 1884 to 2018. It was found that there has been an increase in rainfall intensity and a decrease in occurrence frequency over the past 135 years. Over the most recent 40 years, nocturnal rainfall, especially extreme rainfall, has significantly increased, while daytime extreme rainfall has decreased. These trends are mainly influenced by different rates of near-surface temperature increase over land and sea.

Summary: Oceanic heat sources disrupt the atmosphere, leading to waves that affect climate in remote regions like South America. Eight teleconnection patterns, including ENSO, PDO, AMO, TAD, SAD, SAM, MJO, and IOD, play significant roles in influencing precipitation and wind anomalies in the region. The most affected areas are southeastern South America and the north sector of Brazil, characterized by a precipitation dipole pattern between them during each teleconnection pattern.

Summary: The paper explores the main factors for mosquito-borne transmission of the Zika virus, including environmental, anthropogenic, and social risks. It was found that environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, as well as anthropogenic factors such as sanitation and urbanization, play a role in the transmission. Moreover, socioeconomic factors like poverty and social inequality also impact transmission by limiting access to facilities or infrastructure.
