Abstract

Japan and other countries have been greatly damaged by floods in the past due to heavy rainfall. Flood forecasting using rainfall data observed by satellite is a welcome development. GSMaP (Global Satellite Mapping Precipitation) data can present the amounts of rainfall with high temporal resolution. For that reason, it is important to measure the accuracy of hourly GSMaP data. Kumamoto Prefecture was chosen as the research location in this study. The aim of this research was to verify hourly GSMaP data in two type file (i.e., GSMaP_MVK and GSMaP_NRT) with rain gauge data and to define the rainfall pattern which causes flood. Verification of hourly rainfall data showed that GSMaP_MVK was reasonably good at detecting precipitation events and GSMaP_NRT was inadequate to represent the rainfall data. Two rainfall patterns were observed over Kumamoto Prefecture before the occurrence of the flood.
