Schamm, Kirstin; Ziese, Markus; Raykova, Kristin; Becker, Andreas; Finger, Peter; Meyer-Christoffer, Anja; Schneider, Udo Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC, http://gpcc.dwd.de/) at Deutscher Wetterdienst 2015 This is the GPCC Full Data Daily Product of daily global land-surface precipitation based on data provided by national meteorological and hydrological services, global and regional data collections as well as WMO GTS-data. This product contains the daily totals on a regular grid with a spatial resolution of 1.0° x 1.0° latitude by longitude. Relative precipitation anomalies at the stations are interpolated by means of ordinary block kriging and then superimposed on the GPCC Full Data Reanalysis V7 (10.5676/DWD_GPCC/FD_M_V7_100). The temporal coverage of the dataset ranges from January 1988 until December 2013.

This GPCC product is recommended to be used when the daily precipitation information is of highest importance, e.g. for analyses of extreme events and related statistics at daily resolution.
