This historical dataset is recommended for ancillary use only and not as a primary research dataset. It has likely been superseded by a newer, improved dataset.
Abstract:
This is a dataset of world monthly precipitation data from stations, and the associated monthly gridded analyses, 1851-1989. This dataset also contains a gridded monthly long term climatology and gridded monthly anomalies. In all cases, the grid is a 4 degree latitude by 5 degree longitude grid, from 62 degrees South to 86 degree North latitude and 0 degree to 355 degree East longitude. .

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
