GPCC precipitation v.4 2.5 degree
GPCC full rainfall data product version 4, 2.5 degree data
Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) produces global maps of monthly rain gauge based precipitation. The span of the rainfall data is from Jan1901 to Dec2007 and a total number of gauges used in processing varies from 10,000 to 45,000 depending on a year. The in situ data were gridded on 2.5 degree lon/lat map. Caution should be taken when using the data as the number of rainfall gauges varies widely in time. For studies related to long term precipitation trends VASClimO 50-year dataset is recommended.
