Thesis
Skinner, C. J. (2013). Ensemble-characterisation of satellite rainfall uncertainty and its impacts on the hydrological modelling of a sparsely gauged basin in Western Africa. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214727

Many areas of the planet lack the infrastructure required to make accurate and timely estimations of rainfall. This problem is especially acute in sub-Saharan Africa, where a paucity of rain recording radar and sufficiently dense raingauge networks c...
