New satellites operating in the microwave wavelengths have started to open new opportunities for performing such estimation at adequate temporal and spatial scales and within sensible error limits. This paper illustrates the feasibility and limits of estimating precipitation extremes from satellite data for climatological applications. Using a high-resolution gauge database as ground truth, it was found that global precipitation measurement (GPM) constellation data can provide valuable estimates of extreme precipitation over the southern slopes of the Pyrenees, a region comprising several climates and a very diverse terrain (a challenge for satellite precipitation algorithms). Validation using an object-based quality measure showed reasonable performance, suggesting that GPM estimates can be advantageous reference data for climate model evaluationSIFunding came from projects LE240P18 (Consejería de Educación, Junta de Castilla y León), SAFEFLIGHT CGL2016-78702 (Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad), PID2019-108470RB-C21 and PID2019-108470RB-C22 (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación)MDPIFisica AplicadaFacultad de Ciencias Biologicas y Ambientales2020info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/12/13/2171https://hdl.handle.net/10612/24795reponame:BULERIA.
