A method to estimate rainfall from visible geosynchronous satellite imagery during daylight hours has been derived and tested. Verification tests were performed over two areas in south Florida that differ in size by an order of magnitude. Satellite rain estimates were made and compared to rain volumes measured by a combined system of gages and radar. Two additional test for which groundtruth was available were also made to compare accuracy.
