We are pleased to announce that the Precipitation monthly and daily gridded data from 1979 to present derived from satellite measurements data has been published in the Climate Data Store (CDS).
The analysis of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) provides global estimates of precipitation as monthly means since 1979 (GPCP monthly v2.3) and as daily means since 1996 (GPCP daily v1.3), based on estimates using microwave imagers on polar-orbiting satellites and infrared imagers on geostationary satellites. The monthly product also includes information from rain-gauge observations analyzed by the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC). The GPCP daily product is tied to GPCC indirectly via its calibration with the GPCP monthly product.
This dataset is brokered from the GPCP (see GPCP Product licence).
For any enquiries or feedback regarding the above, please contact us.
