Abstract

Precipitation estimates by satellites contribute to increased coverage of climate data. Thus, the use of rainfall data estimated by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite (TRMM) may be used in the absence of data from conventional meteorological surface stations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the precipitation estimates by the TRMM satellite for the middle Paranapanema basin compared to data observed by surface stations, on a decendial scale, for the period of 1998 to 2008. The results obtained were satisfactory, showing that precipitation estimates based on using the TRMM satellite can be a reliable data source when no information is available from surface stations.
