| Content Summary: 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. 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).
Analysis Scheme: Modified Cressman (1959) Scheme (Glahn et al. 1985; Charba et al. 1992). Minimum stations for analysis: 250 for precipitation. If the number of stations is less than the minimum, then the analysis is not performed for that day. |
