Internationally coordinated multi-mission planning is now critical to sustain the space-based rainfall observations needed for managing floods globally
At present 4 of 10 dedicated rainfall observing satellite systems have exceeded their design life, some by more than a decade. Here, we show operational implications for flood management of a ‘collapse’ of space-based rainfall observing infrastructure as well as the high-value opportunities for a gl...
