One substantial part of GPCC's contribution to VASClimO is the creation of a new 50-year precipitation data set for the global land-areas that is
available since August 2005. The monthly data set for the global land areas (excluding Greenland and Antarctica) from 1951 to 2000 is gridded at
three different resolutions (0.5° lat/lon, 1.0° lat/lon, 2.5° lat/lon) on the basis of quality controlled station data. Version 1.1 of this data
set is available for use in scientific research and can be downloaded via FTP by the following link
