(May 2008)
GPCP produces ongoing, long-term, globally complete gridded estimates of precipitation. It merges precipitation estimates computed from satellite-based microwave, infrared, and sounding data with analyses of in situ gauge data. Monthly, pentad, and daily data sets are available for time period of 1979-present.
