Abstract

The seasonal change of the water budget in the Amazon River basin during the FGGE period is investigated, using the global objective analysed data set, precipitation data and discharge data. Some difference is found between the annual water vapour flux convergence and the annual runoff obtained by discharge data. This is due to the characteristics of the global objective analysed data set. The seasonal change pattern of precipitation shows good correspondence to that of water vapour flux convergence and monthly evapotranspiration remains almost constant within a year. The seasonal change of basin storage is very large and it is concluded that evapotranspiration in the entire basin is not affected by the seasonal change of basin storage even in the dry season.
