Short summary
There are no long-term reasonable rainfall data to build a hydrological model in karst river basins to a large extent. In this paper, the PERSIANN-CCS QPEs are employed to estimate the precipitation data as an attempt in the Liujiang karst river basin, 58 270 km2, China. An improved method is proposed to revise the results of the PERSIANN-CCS QPEs. The post-processed PERSIANN-CCS QPE with a distributed hydrological model, the Liuxihe model, has a better performance in karst flood forecasting.
