However, most real-time and quasi-global satellite o o rainfall products are currently available at spatial scales ranging from 0.25 to 0.50 and hence, are considered somewhat coarse for dynamic hydrologic modeling of basin-scale flood events. This study assesses the question: what are the hydrologic implications of un
