                         hydro-meteorological data, making climate and hydrological models 
                         essential tools. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate these models to 
                         verify their suitability for future climate change assessments. We 
                         evaluate the ability of a regional climate model (Eta) forced with 
                         three Earth system models and a large-scale hydrological model 
                         (MGB) to represent hydroclimatic variables for the current climate 
                         in the Madeira River basin. Different hydro-meteorological 
                         databases are used to evaluate the systematic errors of the 
                         coupled model system. The simulation results show that the Eta 
                         model underestimates (overestimates) precipitation over the basin 
                         during the rainy (dry) season. The hydrological processes 
                         simulated by the MGB are considered satisfactory, although the 
                         model has some limitations with respect to the timing of floods 
                         and their removal in different discharge regimes.",
