Quantitative precipitation estimation with satellites and its applications to nowcasting

This course will cover the principles and fundamentals of quantitative precipitation estimation from satellites and the generation of global precipitation products such
as GSMAP. It will also cover the importance of validating and applying regional calibration techniques for these products. Finally, the fundamentals of the
generation of short-term forecasts (nowcasting) as an application of the precipitation estimation product will be introduced.
There will be lectures in Spanish and English.
