An update of Xavier, King and Scanlon (2016) daily precipitation gridded data set for the Brazil

چکیده
The objective of this work is to present an update to the daily precipitation gridded set developed by Xavier, King and Scanlon (2016), where the previous dataset is namely v2 and the new one is v2.1. The v2.1 gridded data uses 9,259 rain gauges relative to 3,630 in v2. We also extend the period of the gridded data by two years (v2.1 is from Jan/01/1980 to Dec/12/2015 while v2 is from Jan/01/1980 to Dec/12/2013). In the generation of v2.1 gridded data set, we tested two interpolation methods: the angular distance weighting (ADW), and the inverse distance weighting (IDW). We selected the ADW interpolations because it presents better skill score in the cross-validation analysis. The v2.1 gridded data are derived using 155% more rain gauges than v2. Almost all skill scores from cross-validation of v2.1 are better than those from v2, and we make this update of the gridded set available to the community.

Simplifications used in regional climate models decrease the accuracy of the regional climate models. To overcome this deficiency, usually a statistical technique of MOS is used to improve the skill of gridded outputs of the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. In this paper, an experimental synoptic-climatology based method has been used to calibrate, and decrease amount of errors in GFS...

Gridding of daily precipitation data alleviates many of the limitations of data that are derived from point observations, such as problems associated with missing data and the lack of spatial coverage. As a result, gridded precipitation data can be valuable for applied climatological research and monitoring, but they too have limitations. To understand the limitations of gridded data more fully...
