On the use of satellite-based estimates of rainfall temporal distribution to simulate the potential for malaria transmission in rural Africa

[1] This paper describes the use of satellite-based estimates of rainfall to force the Hydrology, Entomology and Malaria Transmission Simulator (HYDREMATS), a hydrology-based mechanistic model of malaria transmission. We first examined the temporal resolution of rainfall input required by HYDREMATS....
