South American Precipitation Gridded AnalysisSouth American Precipitation Gridded Analysis
The CPC Realtime Analysis is prepared using GTS daily reports and additional reports provided by CPTEC, INMET, FUNCEME and SIMEPAR of Brazil and INAMHI of Ecuador.
Resolution: 1.0 degree x 1.0 degree
Domain: 60 S - 15 N, 30 W - 90 W
Window: Day 1 analysis is valid for the window from 12Z on day 0 to 12Z on day 1.
Analysis Scheme: Modified Cressman (1959) Scheme (Glahn et al. 1985; Charba et al. 1992). Minimum stations for analysis: 500 for precipitation. If the number of stations is less than the minimum, then the analysis is not performed for that day.
Quality Control:A. Duplicate Station CheckB. Data Check (buddy check, standard deviation check against climatology).
Note:The primary sources of daily precipitation data for Brazil used in the historical gridded precipitation analyses (2005 version) are: a) Agencia Nacional de Energia Eletrica (National Agency for Electrical Energy ANEEL) (1960-1997), b) Agencia Nacional de Aguas (National Water Agency ANA) (1948-2004), c) Fundacao Cearense de Meteorologia e Recursos Hidricos (Meteorology and Hydrologic Resources Foundation of Ceara (FUNCEME) (1973-2004), d) Superintendencia do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste (Superintendence for Development of the Northeast) (SUDENE) (1948-1998), e) Departamento de Aguas e Energia Eletrica do Estado de Sao Paulo (Department of Water and Electrical Energy of Sao Paulo DAEE) (1948-1997) in collaboration with the Centro de Previsao de Tempo e Estudos Climaticos (Brazilian Weather Forecast and Climate Studies) (CPTEC), and f) Technological Institute of Parana (SIMEPAR) (1997-2004).

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSSUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
• A new real-time verification page for South America is working since May 2006
• New algorithms are welcome!!!
• Rain gauge data over some regions of South America is still a big issue…→ Satellite rainfall estimation is very useful!! → but… how can users decide which algorithm works better for a given region???
• Nevertheless, real time satellite rainfall estimation data are used for many users in different regions for different purposes (agriculture, hydrology, etc.) and internet sites with this kind of information (i.e. CPTEC site) became very popular among weather enthusiast and stakeholders.
• More validation work and algorithm development must be done in order to ‘regionalize’ uncertainties and to deal with the new challenges of satellite rainfall retrieval (snow, warm clouds, etc.)

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSSUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
• A new real-time verification page for South America is working since May 2006
• New algorithms are welcome!!!
• Rain gauge data over some regions of South America is still a big issue…→ Satellite rainfall estimation is very useful!! → but… how can users decide which algorithm works better for a given region???
