Abstract

Rain is one of the most important variables in climate studies in Amazon because of it is large variability in time and space scales. Many basins and sub-basins in the region are deficient in regular and uniform monitoring of data observed on the surface. Today, the remote sensing products available provide satellite estimated rainfall data for a large spatio-temporal distribution and for almost every globe. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the performance of rainfall data obtained from remote sensing for the sub-basin region of the Guamá River, Northeastern Pará, compared to data observed on terrestrial rain gauges. In addition to identifying the spatio-temporal behavior of rain in the area. The rainfall data used were: rain measured by rain gauge (Hidroweb) and rain estimated by remote sensing and made available by the high resolution precipitation database of GPCC and CHIRPS products, for the period between 1988 and 2018. The data were compared with a remarkably high correlation (r = 0.99) and a satisfactory agreement index (d = 0.98). The two estimated databases showed an approximate overestimation of the observed precipitation and a spatio-temporal distribution consistent with that expected for the region.
