Specifically t: a) evaluate the effect f elevatin and seasnality n, and satellite rainfall detectin. b) apply and cmpare SREs bias crrectin schemes (DT and STB) fr different rainfall rates and seasns. c) parameterize TOPMODEL rainfall-runff mdel using RS data. d) assess water balance clsure using TOPMODEL as affected by use f bias crrected satellite rainfall. 2
