With an increasing number of multi-typed gridded precipitation products (PPs), it is important to validate the applicability of PPs and improve their subsequent monitoring capabilities to ensure accurate precipitation-based research. This study evaluates the performance of four mainstream PPs\u2014European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis V5 (ERA5), ERA5-Land, Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation (MSWEP), and integrated multi-satellite retrievals for the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM)\u2014in capturing the characteristics of precipitation intensity and derived agricultural drought in the crop-enrichment area over the Sino\u2013Russian border region. The results show that, overall, GPM has the most balanced capability among the different experimental scenarios, with well-identified seasonal precipitation intensities. ERA5-Land had strong abilities in depicting annual distribution from spatial\/stationary outcomes and obtained advantages in daily multi-parameter consistency verification. When evaluating monthly data in different agroclimatic areas, MSWEP and GPM had outstanding performances in the regions of Russia and China, respectively. For evaluating precipitation intensities and agricultural drought based on daily and monthly precipitation, MSWEP and GPM demonstrated finer performances based on combined agricultural thematic areas (ATAs). However, seasonal effects and affiliated material features were found to be the main factors in exhibiting identification capabilities under different scenarios. Despite good handling of intensity recognition in the eastern Chinese area, ERA5\u2032s capabilities need to be improved by extending sources for calibrating gauged data and information on dry\u2013wet conditions. Overall, this study provides insight into the characterization of PP performances and supports optimal product selection for different applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15102577","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,16]],"date-time":"2023-05-16T02:27:04Z","timestamp":1684204024000},"page":"2577","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Performance Evaluation of Multi-Typed Precipitation Products for Agricultural Research in the Amur River Basin over the Sino\u2013Russian Border Region"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6826-151X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yezhi","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoscience and Surveying Engineering, China University of Mining & Technology (Beijing), Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5641-0813","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juanle","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Center for Collaborative Innovation in Geographical Information Resource Development and Application, Nanjing 210023, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7811-7853","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Grigorieva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Complex Analysis of Regional Problems, Far-Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, 679016 Birobidzhan, Russia"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoscience and Surveying Engineering, China University of Mining & Technology (Beijing), Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Huanyu","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geoscience and Surveying Engineering, China University of Mining & Technology (Beijing), Beijing 100083, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"124707","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhydrol.2020.124707","article-title":"Performance evaluation of satellite- and model-based precipitation products over varying climate and complex topography","volume":"584","author":"Amjad","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
