Abstract
Rainfall is an essential resource for socio-economic activities
especially in developing countries.
I Rainfall variability in Sub-Saharan Africa has been reported by
Owusu et al. (2012), Nicholson et al. (2003), Amekudzi et al.
(2015).
I To improve our understanding of the spatio-temporal variations of
rainfall rigourous validation has been carried out all over the world
by comparing in-situ measurements with satellite estimates. (Friesen
2002; Amekudzi et al., 2011; Adeyewa and Nakamura 2003; Haque
et al., 2013).
I In the tropics, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) has
been specifically dedicated to monitoring rainfall intensity and
distribution
