Amazon Basin Hydrological Budget Study Report

Final Report ISP1_020 details a procedure for computing hydrological budgets over the Amazonia region. The project was a joint effort by Florida State University and Brazil's Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) under the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research. The final report was published in October 1998.

Use Cases

• Analyze precipitation and evaporation rates over the Amazon region using budget component data.
• Validate regional climate model outputs against the reported hydrological budget procedure.
• Study spatial patterns of water storage change described in the report's findings.

Strengths

• Report is a formal deliverable from a joint U.S.-Brazilian research initiative.
• Focuses on a defined procedure for a critical climate region.

Limitations

• Data is from 1998 and may not reflect current hydrological conditions.
• The dataset is a report document; underlying numerical data files are not specified.
