Short summary
This study evaluates two reanalysis datasets, which are critical in climate, weather research, and water resources analysis, for the Australian region in terms of simulating daily mean precipitation and six other selected precipitation extremes. While spatial patterns of mean precipitation are well reproduced, substantial biases exist in precipitation variability, trends, and extremes. Caution in applying these datasets is thus advised in terms of the latter aspects.
