Validating Gauge-based Spatial Surface Atmospheric Temperature Datasets for Upper Benue River Basin, Nigeria

Abstract: Like most other countries of Africa, one of the main problems threatening effective impact modelling in Nigeria including Upper Benue river basin, dwells in lack of high-quality in-situ observation datasets at appropriate spatiotemporal scales. Gridded meteorological variables can serve as promising alternatives to in-situ measurements in data sparse regions, but then, require validations to assess quantitatively their level of accuracies and reliabilities. As a consequence, this study makes comparative analys… Show more

“…The potential evapotranspiration values were extracted from the CRU TS dataset. The precipitation values for runoff reconstruction were extracted from the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) Precipitation Total Full V2018 data provided by the NOAA/OAR/ESRL (PSL, Boulder, Colorado, USA) because these were found to agree better with observations in previous research compared to the CRU TS precipitation dataset (Ahmed et al, 2019;Degefu et al, 2022;Fiedler and Döll, 2007;Hu et al, 2018;Salaudeen et al, 2021).…”
