Gridded Climate Datasets: Precipitation
| Datasets | Description | OPeNDAP |
|---|---|---|
| CMAP Precipitation | Monthly and pentad global gridded precipitation means. It includes a standard and enhanced version (with NCEP Reanalysis) from 1979 to near the present. | Catalog |
| CPC .25x.25 Daily US Unified Precipitation | High resolution gridded precipitation over the US (from station data) for 1948 to 2006 extending to the present for a real-time version. | Catalog |
| CPC Hourly Precipitation | NCEP's hourly gridded US station precipitation from 1948. | Catalog |
| GHCN version 2 Land Precipitation Dataset | GHCN V2 contains gridded precipitation anomalies calculated from the GHCN version 2 monthly precipitation data set. 2,064 homogeneity adjusted precipitation stations were combined with a data set containing 20,590 raw precipitation stations throughout the world onto a 72x36 (5degx5deg) global grid. | Catalog |
| Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) | GPCC Global Precipitation Climatology Centre monthly precipitation dataset from 1901-present is calculated from global station data. | Catalog |
| GPCP V2.3 Precipitation | Global Precipitation Climatology Project monthly precipitation dataset from 1979-present combines observations and satellite precipitation data into 2.5°x2.5° global grids. | Catalog |
| Livneh daily CONUS near-surface gridded meteorological and derived hydrometeorological data. | This CONUS daily dataset from 1915 to 2011 is 1/16 resolution. The dataset variables have been generated using the Variable Infiltration Capacity VIC hydrologic model v.4.1.2.c which was driven with the companion meteorological data. | Catalog |
| NCEP Operational Analysis | NCEP's twice-daily global analysis at 2.5° resolution on pressure levels which is a product of their operational forecast system. | Catalog |
| NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis | A state-of-the-art analysis/forecast system is used to perform data assimilation using data from 1948 to the present. | Catalog |
| NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Products Derived at NOAA/PSL | A subset of the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis has been processed to create monthly means of the original data, and in some cases, derived variables or other statistics. | Catalog |
| NCEP/DOE Reanalysis II | A state-of-the-art analysis/forecast system is used to perform data assimilation using data from 1979 through 2003. A large subset of this data is available from NOAA/PSL in its original 4 times daily format and as daily averages. | Catalog |
| NOAA's Precipitation Reconstruction (PREC) | NOAA's Precipitation Reconstruction (PREC) | Catalog |
| NOAA's Precipitation Reconstruction over Land (PREC/L) | NOAA's Precipitation Reconstruction over Land (PREC/L) | Catalog |
| PSL South America Daily Gridded Precipitation | South America daily precipitation from gauges on 1.0 and 2.5 degree grids. | N/A |
| North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) | NCEP's high resolution combined model and assimilated dataset. It covers 1979 to near present and is provided 8-times daily, daily and monthly on a Northern Hemisphere Lambert Conformal Conic grid for all variables. | Catalog |
| NOAA-CIRES 20th Century Reanalysis (V2) | 20th Century Reanalysis contains objectively-analyzed 4-dimensional weather maps and their uncertainty from the late 19th century to 21st century. | Catalog |
| NOAA-CIRES 20th Century Reanalysis (V2c) | NOAA-CIRES 20th Century Reanalysis V2c contains objectively-analyzed 4-dimensional weather maps and their uncertainty from the mid 19th century to 21st century. | Catalog |
NOAA-CIRES-DOE 20th Century Reanalysis V3
| NOAA-CIRES-DOE 20th Century Reanalysis V3 contains objectively-analyzed 4-dimensional weather maps and their uncertainty from the early 19th century to the 21st century. (20CR Project). | Catalog |
| U. of Delaware Precipitation and Air Temperature | Monthly global gridded high resolution station (land) data for air temperature and precipitation from 1900-2014. | Catalog |
| CPC Global Precipitation | Daily Gridded CPC Precipitation for 1979 to present. | Catalog |
