Precipitation Accumulation Analysis with GPM Derived Data (IMERG Real Time) Aquired from 1 October 2015 to 31 December 2015
This map presents the estimated anomalous precipitation accumulation for Democratic Republic of the Congo covering three periods. The months of October, November and December 2015. Highest levels of anomalous precipitation were registered during October and November 2015. This rainfall estimate was derived from the Global Precipitation Measurement ? IMERG dataset (Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for GPM) at a spatial resolution of approximately 0.1 degrees (~10 km) by taking an average monthly precipitations of 200mm. It is possible that precipitation levels may have been underestimated for local areas, and are not a substitute for ground station measurements.
