TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of seven operational high-resolution satellite-based rainfall products (ARC, RFE, TARCAT, CHIRPS, PERSIANN, African Rainfall Estimation RFE 2.0, Tropical Applications of Meteorology using SATellite TAMSAT, AfricanRainfall Climatology and Time-series TARCat, and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission TRMM daily and monthly estimates) was investigated for Burkina Faso.

TL;DR: In this article, a multivariate calibration framework exploiting spatial patterns and simultaneously incorporating streamflow and three satellite products (i.e., Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model [GLEAM] evaporation, European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative [ESA CCI] soil moisture, and Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment [GRACE] terrestrial water storage) is proposed.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the fully distributed mesoscale hydrologic model (mHM) was evaluated using real evaporation and streamflow data in the Volta River basin in West Africa.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the ability of different gridded rainfall datasets to plausibly represent the spatio-temporal patterns of multiple hydrological processes (i.e. streamflow, actual evaporation, soil moisture and terrestrial water storage) for large-scale hydrologogical modeling in the predominantly semi-arid Volta River basin (VRB) in West Africa.

TL;DR: In this paper, a thorough gap-filling framework including the selection of predictor stations and the optimization of the Direct Sampling (DS) parameters is developed and applied to data collected in the Volta River basin, West Africa.
