                         Earths surface is important for both science and user 
                         applications, ranging from understanding and improving our 
                         knowledge of the global energy and water cycle, to water resources 
                         and hydrological modelling, and to societal applications such as 
                         water availability and monitoring of waterborne diseases (see 
                         Kirschbaum DB, Huffman GJ, Adler RF, Braun S, Garrett K, Jones E,

                         Am Meteorol Soc 98:11691194, 2017). The global mapping of 
                         precipitation through conventional means is essentially limited to 
                         land areas due to the reliance upon rain (and snow) gauges and/or 
                         radar (see Kidd C, Becker A, Huffman GJ, Muller CL, Joe P, 
                         Skofronick-Jackson G, Kirschbaum DB, Bull Am Meteorol Soc 98:6978, 
                         2017a). For truly global precipitation mapping satellite 
                         observations must be used. A range of techniques, algorithms and 
                         schemes have been developed to exploit these satellite 
                         observations and generate quantitative precipitation products, 
                         many with (quasi-) global coverage. Alongside these techniques, 
                         there is a need for the inter-comparison, verification, and 
                         validation of such products in order to quantify their accuracy 
                         and performance (and consistency) for both developers and users. 
                         The International Precipitation Working Group (IPWG) has supported 
                         a long-term effort to intercompare and validate precipitation 
                         products through the exploitation of large-scale regional surface 
                         reference data sets. Here, we present the current and future 
                         validation efforts of the IPWG together with examples of 
                         satellite-surface intercomparisons.",
