PARANA STATESatellite techniques: CMORPH (Joyce et. al., 2004), PERSIANN (Sorooshian et al., 2000), TRMM (Huffman et. al., 1997), NRLB (Turk et. al., 2003) and CST (Adler e Negri, 1998).

Data

141 weather stations over Parana State

Methodology

1) Observed and estimated rainfall @ 0.25° spatial resolution over 56°W – 46.75°W and 27°S-21.75°S for 1 day to a month accumulation.

2)Period: January 2003 – December 2005

3)Rain/non-rain threshold: 0.3mm/day and 20mm/month;

4)Statistics: average, variance, bias, POD FAR, ETS, MSE, correlation coefficient;

5)Hovmoller diagrams.

Discussion (PR)Hovmöller diagrams indicate good agreement between satellite-derived estimates and gauges, though amplitude differences are significant.

Monthly satellite-derived accumulations better for January, May and October. Daily values highly variable.
