Purpose of RPC Experiment
• Optimize the GPM precipitation estimates for decision support in water resources management and other cross-cutting applications.
– Characterize and optimize GPM precipitation data by blending and merging with other precipitation measurements and estimates using a Four-Dimensional Objective Analysis (4D-OA) scheme and other intelligent methods.

Experimental Objectives of GPM Optimization
• Develop dynamic 4D-OA techniques (EnKF) and intelligent methods (ANN, Bayesian merging) to optimally merge various precipitation estimates.
• Evaluate and implement spatial downscaling and temporal disaggregation techniques to derive precipitation forcings for land surface modeling.
• Evaluate the optimized and downscaled products by running land surface model experiments at 1 -10 km resolutions in selected domains.
• Characterize uncertainties in merged products and in LSM simulations.

Research Objectives
– To combine precipitation-related information from satellite estimates, model predictions, and rain gauge measurements in order to capitalize on the advantages of each product.
– To study the impact and sensitivity on land surface states of the final precipitation estimates.

ANN Data Merging
Neural Network – Multilayer Back Propagation Neural Network
(BPNN)– Training:
• Inputs: satellite estimates, model predictions, a bias term
• Output: gauge measurements– The weights in the BPNN are used to adjust the
errors.– Nonlinear regression
RPC Review (7/10/07)

ANN Data Merging (Cont’d)
Investigations to be conducted
– Is it reasonable to use gauge measurements as the desired outputs for the neural network training?
– When gauge measurements are unavailable, can the interpolated gauge measurements be used as the desired outputs?
– If gauge measurements are considered to be noisy, how to modify the neural network training algorithm to accommodate the inaccuracy?
– Is there any other choice for the desired outputs?

ANN Data Merging (Cont’d)
Investigations to be conducted (… continued)
– What is the spatial scale for a specific neural network to remain effective (i.e., spatial generalization property)?
– What is the temporal scale for a specific neural network to remain effective (i.e., temporal generalization property)?
– In addition to the current existing unsupervised neural network-based data merging approach, can a new unsupervised neural network be developed for precipitation data merging?

Issues / Risks
• There may not be a physical basis for the performance of the techniques; i.e. the performance (good or poor) may not be explained by relating to a set of physical processes.

Our Sponsor: NASA Applied Sciences …
• NASA's vision is "to improve life here" and our mission is "to understand and protect our home planet". Applications extend the NASA vision and mission by enabling and facilitating the assimilation of Earth observations and prediction outputs into decision support tools. The purpose is to enhance the performance of the decision support resources to serve society through Earth exploration from space.
