Appraising the Potential of Using Satellite‐Based Rainfall Estimates for Evaluating Extreme Precipitation: A Case Study of August 2014 Event Across the West Rapti River Basin, Nepal

Appraising the Potential of Using Satellite‐Based Rainfall Estimates for Evaluating Extreme Precipitation: A Case Study of August 2014 Event Across the West Rapti River Basin, Nepal

Abstract Heavy precipitation events are recurrently occurring in Nepal, affecting lives and properties every year, especially in the summer monsoon season (i.e., June‐September). We investigated an extreme (heavy) precipitation event of August 2014 over the West Rapti River (WRR) Basin, Nepal. First...
