“…The IMERG and TMPA products demonstrate convergent performance in predicting estimates and show a tendency to behave similarly, since GPM is the successor to the TRMM mission. In corroboration, other studies also state that the performance of both is similar (SOUSA, 2016; LELIS et al 2018), but also that they suffer interference from the region in which they are used in or from the predominant type of precipitation (SERRÃO et al 2016;ZHOU et al 2015). In this regard, it is clear that the TRMM has greater sensitivity to variations in regional conditions, which can be explained by its validation with the precipitation recorded in situ (SERRÃO et al 2016).…”
