             abstract = "The satellite estimates of rainfall in regions with low density of 
                         observations has been widely used in many studies to validate 
                         numerical models, thus, it is very important to know the 
                         performance of these products derived from satellites. In this 
                         study, was evaluated the performance of two TRMM products (3B42V6 
                         and 3B42RT) over South America using several sources of observed 
                         data. The study period was seven years (December 2002 December 
                         2009). The results showed that both versions of TRMM indicate 
                         trends to overestimate the values of precipitation in most 
                         regions, except on the northeast of Brazil. In this region, the 
                         tendency to underestimate the values of precipitation is due to a 
                         deficiency the satellite sensors in detect warm clouds that occur 
                         in the northeastern region of Brazil. The performance of the 
                         3B42V6 version was slightly higher than the 3B42RT version, 
                         especially on Brazil during the spring months. The results show 
                         that both versions indicate a great potential for use in 
                         evaluation of numerical models as well as input data for 
                         hydrological models and soil moisture models.",
