Abstract: Satellite-based rainfall is extremely valuable data to quantify the probability of occurrence of rainfall events but is still uncertain to a certain extent. Therefore, this study firstly evaluates the performance of the satellite-based rainfall, PERSIANN-CCS, with rain gauge rainfall. The power transformation method is then applied to correct the satellite-based rainfall. Importantly, the Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves are then constructed with the return periods of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 years using the Gumbel probability distribution. The results show an efficiency of power transformation on satellite-based rainfall for both rainfall amount and events. It is especially noticed that it is well matched between bias-corrected satellite-based and rain gauge IDF curves duration 12-, 24-, 48- and 72-hour as a particular. For the duration of less than 12-hour, satellite-based IDF curves without bias correction significantly fit the rain-gauge IDF curves within the considered periods.
