Surface data sets used in WetNet's PIP‐1 from the Comprehensive Pacific Rainfall Data Base and the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre

摘要: Abstract For intercomparison purposes and validation of different satellite‐based precipitation estimates in the framework first WetNet Precipitation Intercomparison Project (PIP‐1), two surface data sets have been used. The Comprehensive Pacific Rainfall Data Base (CPRDB) has assimilated specifically for calibration verification satellite rainfall algorithms over parts tropical ocean. CPRDB consists daily rain gauge from more than 250 sites Pacific, most which are atolls low‐lying islands. set evaluated by Global Climatology Centre (GPCC), a central element World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) (GPCP), provides areal mean monthly totals on 2.5° grid global scale climate research models. Although merged GPCC is extent, it based an objective analysis ga...
