Satellite-enhanced rainfall estimation appears to offer an effective and viable alternative means for estimating precipitation. Satellite-improved rainfall estimates for the HKH region delivered in a timely fashion will facilitate the use of regional flood-information systems. These estimates, enhanced by gauge data, will improve rainfall analyses that are currently interpolated solely from sparse rain-gauge data, and will lead to value-added agricultural and hydrological applications such as crop monitoring and flood forecasting. Mitigation measures for weather-related disasters will thus be able to use more accurate and timely information in the decision-making process.
