                         different reanalysis data (MERRA and NCEP-GFSR) for the South 
                         America, with emphasis on the Amazon Basin and the La Plata Basin 
                         regions. This evaluation was done comparing these two datasets 
                         with data from the 3B42 algorithm for the period of 10 years 
                         (1999-2008) through the spatial correlation and the average 
                         difference between them. This study is relevant, primarily because 
                         no validation was held for these two datasets for South America, 
                         and also because through the results is expected to have an idea 
                         of what will be the best given be used in studies of water balance 
                         for the whole of South America, for example. The results showed a 
                         good spatial correlation with both MERRA and NCEP-CFSR data, 
                         making them able to represent the main patterns of weather systems 
                         over South America, having only difficulties to quantify 
                         accurately the amounts of precipitation. The difference between 
                         these reanalysis and TRMM data can conclude that the best data 
                         sets for use, especially over the the Amazon Basin and the La 
                         Plata Basin regions, are the NCEP-CFSR data, because the 
                         difference found was very small.",
