Global Land Monthly Precipitation Analyses

This is a dataset of world monthly precipitation data from stations, and the associated monthly gridded analyses, 1851-1989. This dataset also contains a gridded monthly long term climatology and gridded monthly anomalies. In all cases, the grid is a 4 degree latitude by 5 degree longitude grid, from 62 degrees South to 86 degree North latitude and 0 degree to 355 degree East longitude. .
