Utility of GSMaP Precipitation and Point Scale in Gauge Measurements for Stream Flow modelling – a Case Study in Lam River Basin, Vietnam

Abstract

The benefiting from integrating information from multi-source is confirmed in the research of hydrologic processes in river basins. However, the use of satellite-based rainfall products in hydrologic stream flow modeling has been limited because of the perceived uncertainty associated with such data. In this study, we present the simulated streamflow from a SWAT model driven by merging rainfall between satellite and gauge-observed rainfall for the Lam River Basin. The results demonstrate the usefulness of merging rainfall data for stream flow modelling at a monthly time step.
