The concentration of precipitation for many consecutive days has a strong potential for leading soil erosion, landslides, slope instability, and flooding. In the last decade, Andean-Amazonian basins have been frequently affected by extreme hydrological events such as strong droughts in 2005 and 2010 and floods in 2009, 2012, and 2014. Satellite-based precipitation datasets are currently used for estimating concentrations of daily rainfall, but at the same time they also might be an alternative in regions where rainfall data availability is scarce. In addition, these datasets can be used as input to distributed hydrological models for understanding and evaluation of extreme hydrological events. The application of these satellite datasets in the hydrological and climatic studies requires a strict evaluation for using in extreme event forecasting systems. In this thesis, several satellite-based precipitation datasets are evaluated with respect to observed data (rain gauges) in the Peruvian and Ecuadorian Amazon Basin. Five precipitation datasets derived from satellite data (TMPA V7, TMPART, CMORPH, PERSIANN, and GPM-IMERG) were used as forcing data to estimate daily rainfall concentration (CI) and daily streamflow using a large-scale distributed hydrological model (MGB - IPH). Daily streamflow data of 20 hydrometric stations from SNO-HYBAM observatory were used. The main findings of this thesis evidence that the estimation of CMORPH and TMPA V7 are better than TRMM RT, PERSIANN for simulating the temporal variability of the CIs. On the other hand, the results of hydrological modeling indicate that TMPA RT data is better than the rest of data for estimating the observed streamflows in the Andean-Amazonian regions (Ucayali River basin, which is located in the southern Amazon basin of Peru and Ecuador). Thus, TMPA RT (NS ̴ 0.82) estimates streamflow better than the rest of satellite data such as TMPA V7 and GPM-IMERG (NS ̴ 0.78)
