A spatio-temporal comparative study of the representation of precipitation over South America derived by three gridded data sets
In the last few years, there has been an increasing application of gridded precipitation data sets for studies analysing seasonal and interannual precipitation variability as well as for performing validation analysis of climate and regional models. Consequently, the purpose of the present study is...
