Assessment of different precipitation datasets and their impacts on the water balance of the Negro River basin.==$Journal of Hydrology, 404$==(3-4), 304-322. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2011.04.037index-oti2018http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12816/3039With the objective of understanding the potential and limitations of available precipitation products for hydrological studies, this paper compares six daily and sub-daily precipitation datasets and their impacts on the water balance of the Negro River basin in the Amazon basin. The precipitation datasets contain gauge-based data [data derived from the Hybam Observatory Precipitation (HOP) dataset and provided by the Climate Prediction Center (CPC)], satellite-based data [the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) one-degree daily and TRMM Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) datasets] and model-based data [the NCEP-DOE AMIP-II re-analysis (NCEP-2) and 40-year ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) datasets]. Each dataset has a common set of meteorological forcing data which are used to run the MGB-IPH hydrological model for the period from January 1998 to August 2002.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessWater balancePrecipitation datasetHydrological modelingNegro River basinAmazon River basininfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#1.05.00http://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#1.05.09http://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#1.05.11Journal of Hydrologyhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2011.04.037
