Abstract
Long-term trends in equatorial African rainfall have proven difficult to determine because of a dearth in ground-measured rainfall data. Multiple, satellite-based products now provide daily rainfall estimates from 1983 to the present at relatively fine spatial resolutions, but in order to assess trends in rainfall, they must be validated alongside ground-based measurements. The purpose of this paper is twofold: (a) to assess the accuracy of four...
