Dataset

High-resolution satellite-gauge merged precipitation climatologies of the tropical Andes

PrecipitationCaribbeanUK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UK CEH)

Dataset Objective

To assess the precipitation of the tropical Andes.

Context

The maps represent different realizations of mean precipitation totals of the period 1981-2010 using different satellite-gauge merging methods.

What is included

Dataset entails country ID, climate change, total precipitation, season, and annual precipitation.

Collection Methods

The work draws on a large database of 723 rain gauges and the full 5km Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (TPR) record from 1998 to 2014.
