GPCP Version 2.3 Monthly Analysis Product

NOTE: This dataset has been superseded by the official GPCP version 2.3 monthly precipitation produced under the NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) Program for satellites, which is available in RDA dataset ds728.6 [https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds728.6/]. Users are advised to transition to this updated dataset.

This dataset contains Version 2.3 of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) Monthly Analysis Product. The data are monthly analyses defined on a global 2.5 degree by 2.5 degree longitude/latitude grid and cover the period January 1979 to (delayed) present.
