- Rainfall and temperature data from Ceará refer to a 30-year period (from 1982 to 2012) and from Alagoas to a 12-year period (from 1998 to 2010). These were obtained from Araújo et al. (2012) for Ceará, and from Secretaria de Estado do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Hídricos, for Alagoas. Evaporation refers to accumulated annual evaporation rate. It was obtained from Folhes et al. (2009) for Ceará and from Oliveira and Kjerfve (1993), for Alagoas; however, the authors do not specify the period of data for which they obtained data from. In the case of Ceará, evaporation rate was estimated based on an evaporation rate of 10 mm per day. Köppen’s classification is in accordance with Kottek et al. (2006) and Alvares et al. (2014)—for further details on Köppen’s classification refer to these references
