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 It has likely been superseded by a newer, improved dataset.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:
A historic monthly gridded precipitation dataset for global land areas. This dataset contains monthly precipitation from station rain gauges which have been averaged for geographic boxes for January, 1900 through December, 1998. The data is available for both a 5 degree by 5 degree grid and a 2.5 degree latitude by 3.75 degree longitude grid, but values are only available over land.
Temporal Range:
1900-01-01 to 1998-12-31
Variables:
| Precipitation Amount |
Vertical Levels:
| Ground or water surface |
Temporal Frequencies:
Every month
Data Types:
Grid

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.
