  Title:

derived GPCC version 6 precipitation

  Source_file:

This product is generated from monthly GPCC version 6 precipitation observations

  Conventions:

Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

  Creation_date:

Tue Sep 8 11:12:53 PDT 2015

  Approach:

I read the monthly global precipitation data from original file and converted the unit from mm/month to Kg m-2 s-1. The final data were saved by each month and each year.

  Temporal resolution:

monthly

  General information:

This product was derived from GPCC Version 6 Monthly Total Precipitation Data Set.

  Spatial resolution:

0.5x0.5, 1x1 and 2.5x2.5 degree
