Description of the site Howard
University Beltsville Research Site (39.054°N;
76.877°W) is located in Beltsville, Maryland. It is an area that is
covered by grass and surrounded by deciduous trees, but also is in
proximity to plants and industries. This makes the site unique and
ideal to study the impacts of land surface heterogeneity on
land-atmosphere interactions.
Objectives Howard University Beltsville rainfall project is
the bases for the study of rainfall pattern to be conduct in senegal
by a group of researcher from NASA, Howard University, University
of North Dakota,and Senegal. This research study is to help proofthat
TRMM satellite PR was equally good as surface measuerment for rainfall
determination. As a result of this, four rain-gauges have been step
up at Howard University Site, beltsville, to collect rainfall data
from four different setup of rain-gauges. To get a better understanding
of this research go to the West African Precipitation Research site.
