|
|
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 anomolies. In all cases, the grid is a 4 degree latitude by 5 degree longitude grid, from
62 degress South to 86 degree North latitude and 0 degree to 355 degree East longitude.
