This module offers an in-depth examination of the two primary sources of rainfall monitoring: Rainfall Estimates (RFE) and Climate Hazards InfraRed Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS). 

After completing this module, you will be able to:

• Describe the primary characteristics of RFE and CHIRPS
• Describe the processes involved in generating RFE and CHIRPS data
• Identify the final product outputs for both RFE and CHIRPS
• Describe the strengths and limitations of RFE and CHIRPS
