Abstract: A scale-invariance analysis of space-time rainfall retrieved during the TOGA-COARE (Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Response Experiment) campaign is discussed. This analysis is then compared with recent findings on GATE (GARP, Global Atmospheric Research Program, Atlantic Tropical Experiment) rainfall scans. A downscaling model based on a log-Poisson generator is then calibrated and applied for generation of synthetic fields.
