Abstract: The Version 6 and Version 7 TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) products including near-real-time products (3B42RTV6 and 3B42RTV7) and post-real-time research products (3B42V6 and 3B42V7) were analyzed from January 2006 to December 2010 over the Ganjiang River Basin. The streamflow has been simulated by the VIC hydrological model to assess the ability of TRMM products applied in hydrological processes. The results showed that:(1) the product of 3B42V7 has the highest rainfall estimation accuracy, while the 3B42RTV6 product significantly underestimates the precipitation. However, 3B42RTV7 has been improved more significantly than 3B42RTV6; (2) both the 3B42V6 and 3B42V7 products have better ability in hydrological simulation for the monthly streamflow and better results can be found in April and March than in July and August. However, the product of 3B42RTV6 has a poor capability in the daily and monthly streamflow simulation, while the product of 3B42RTV7 shows a better performance than that of 3B42 RTV6 in hydrological simulation which might be suited to the real-time hydrological forecasting.

Key words: rainfall, TRMM, VIC hydrological model, streamflow, Ganjiang basin
