N2 - Experts suggest that the growth of long-term space-based precipitation datasets enables cross-disciplinary discoveries about hydrological and land processes, climate, atmospheric composition, and ocean freshwater budget and provides significant help in addressing societal issues. Many methods have been developed to merge passive microwave (PMW)-based precipitation data and geostationary satellite observations, such as the TRMM Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis and the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) morphing technique (CMORPH). The experts emphasize that precipitation observations provide an incomplete picture of the state of the atmosphere along. Precipitation products are critical for the development of applications that address a variety of scientific and societal needs despite these limitations.
