GPCC Full Data Daily Version 2020 at 1.0°: Daily Land-Surface Precipitation from Rain-Gauges built on GTS-based and Historic Data

Description

The Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) provides gridded gauge-analysis products derived from quality controlled station data. This is the GPCC Full Data Daily Product Version 2020 of daily global land-surface precipitation totals based on precipitation data provided by national meteorological and hydrological services, regional and global data collections as well as WMO GTS-data. It is provided at a regular latitude/longitude grid with a spatial resolution of 1.0 x 1.0 degree (360X180) and covers the time period from January 1982 to December 2019 (one year per file). 

Relative precipitation anomalies at the stations (daily totals divided by monthly total) are interpolated by means of a modified SPHEREMAP scheme (Becker et al., 2013 (10.5194/essd-5-71-2013); Schamm et al., 2014 (10.5194/essd-6-49-2014); Schneider et al., 2018) and then superimposed on the GPCC Full Data Monthly Version 2020 (DOI: 10.5676/DWD_GPCC/FD_M_V2020_100) monthly precipitation totals with climatological infilling . 

More information and a visualization tool for the dataset is available on the GPCC website.
