Rain gauge data for the Brazilian rainforest-savanna transition zone

These data are the rain gauge time series components of a curated set of historical daily rainfall and streamflow data for a large region spanning the southern Amazonian rainforest and tropical savanna biomes of Brazil.

Data (columns) include: the year, month, and day (\"year\", \"month\", \"day\") of observations; the depth of daily rainfall in mm/day (\"value\"); a site ID (\"site\"); and the state within which the rain gauge is located (\"state\"). Missing values are set to -9999. For each unique site, there exists a corresponding rain gauge location record (see \"Rain Gauge Locations for the Brazilian Rainforest-Savanna Transition Zone\"); these are identified by the same site ID numbers. Date ranges are different for each site.

Rainfall data were obtained from free, publicly-available historical records from the Brazilian water management agency: Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA).
