Global daily precipitation fields from bias-corrected rain gauge and satellite observations. Part I: Design and Development

Global daily precipitation analyses are mainly based on satellite estimates, often calibrated with monthly ground analyses or merged with model predictions. We argue here that an essential improvement of their accuracy is only possible by incorporation of daily ground measurements. In this work we a...
