Multisource Remote Sensing-based Precipitation Estimation over the UAE
September 7, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am +04
Given its predominantly arid climate, the Arabian Peninsula (AP) is considered a regional water stress hotspot, amplified by the rising demands associated with its rapid urbanization and population growth. The scarcity of renewable water resources across the AP requires improved monitoring of available precipitation and terrestrial water storage to quantify water budget deficits and implement targeted water resource management strategies. However, accurate and timely monitoring of precipitation remains a challenge, particularly in arid regions such as the AP, characterized by sparse ground-based observational networks and complex land-atmosphere dynamics. This webinar will present an overview on remote sensing-based monitoring of precipitation, challenges and targeted solutions for improved monitoring over the UAE and the larger AP region.
