  Title:

derived GPCP version 2 precipitation

  Source_file:

This product is generated from monthly GPCP version 2 precipitation observations

  Conventions:

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

  Creation_date:

Fri Nov 1 11:55:49 PDT 2013

  Approach:

I read the monthly global precipitation data from original file, and interpolated from the original resolution in 2.5x2.5 degree to the final one in 0.5x0.5 degree. Meanwhile I also converted the unit from mm/day 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 GPCP Version 2.2 Combined Precipitation Data Set.

  Spatial resolution:

0.5x0.5 degree

  Derived data code:
