According to the criteria of minimum density of precipitation given by WMO to ensure a consistent distribution of stations in each country. For blending, detailed information about each local gauge station (name, latitude, longitude, elevation, and others) was added to a master NOAA GTS rain gauge file to calculate the gauge-to-gauge distances and update the number of new local stations in the master file.
The final precipitation estimates retain the station's rain gauge value, while as distance from a station increases, the estimates rely more heavily on satellite derived precipitation. This indicates that the spatial pattern of the CPC-RFE2.0 does not change, only the magnitude. If short-term convective rainfall events which were not well observed by the CPC-RFE2.0 were measured at a particular station, this would be included in the RFE2.0 Modified.
RFE2.0-Modified from 2006-05-12 CPC-RFE2.0 from 2006-05-12
The merging algorithm of CPC-RFE2.0 defines the analysis of daily precipitation in two steps. First, to reduce the random error inherent in the individual data sources, the three kinds of satellite data (GPI cloud-top IR, SSM/I, AMSU) are combined linearly through the Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method, in which the weighting coefficients are inversely proportional to the individual error variance. This provides the shape of precipitation. Since the shape of precipitation contains bias passed through from original inputs, a second step is introduced to remove the bias by blending the shape of precipitation with the gauge data using the method of Reynolds (1988) . In this blending process, the gauge data are used to define the magnitude of the precipitation field
To better understand the impact of precipitation inputs on hydrological applications, the accuracy of satellite precipitation should be assessed against the reference data considering basin average precipitation.
Location of Brahmaputra river Basin
Grid-to-Grid Analysis - Sample no. = 4602 (daily data at 4602 grids)- Gives daily performance over whole basin (i.e. basin-wide daily performance)- Averaging daily performance over month and season to calculate month and season-wise daily performance
Catchment-to-Catchment Analysis- Sample no. = 217 (sub-basin or catchment average daily rainfall of 217 catchments)- Gives daily performance over whole basin (i.e. basin-wide daily performance)- Averaging daily performance over month and season to calculate month and season-wise daily performance

Legends
Mei et al [2014] stated that catchment average rainfall approach allows a more direct inference on the hydrological impact of the satellite rainfall estimation error and similarly, size of catchments also influence the satellite rainfall errors. Hydrological model relies on catchment average rainfall data, comparison of catchment average rainfall thus gives an idea of how useful the selected satellite rainfall products are in a hydrological modelling study..
The monsoon season was the primary focus in this study as more than 80% of annual rainfall falls during this period, and it is the most important season for flood prediction and warning and also from the agriculture point of view

Month average of daily error categorical statistics of satellite rainfall for 2004 to 2006 ( G-G analysis)
The categorical statistics are very much important if SRE products will be used in modelling of floods because of precipitation detection. Both POD (hits) and FAR (misses) help to understand the hydrological consequences of the sources of errors in SRE products ( Y.Derin and K.Yilmaz, 2014)

vThe evolution of regional and global SRE products with high temporal and spatial resolution has opened up new opportunities for hydrological applications in data sparse regions.
vIn sum-up, there was general agreement in the overall pattern of rainfall distribution between observed and satellite estimated data over the Brahmaputra river basin, with SRE following the same trend of high and low rainfall intensity as the observed-interpolated rainfall. However, the amount of rainfall was generally underestimated. RFE2.0-Modified showed the good correspondence with observed rainfall followed by TRMM 3B42, CMORPH, CPC-RFE2.0, and GSMaP. Overall, in the rugged topography of the Brahmaputra river basin, SRE products which incorporated gauge data performed better than the products that only used remotely sensed data. The effect of additional local gauges on the quality of the products was clear. It also revealed that evaluation of SRE products at monthly and seasonal temporal resolution provided better results which could be considered as useful for overall water resource assessment of the basin.
