Users are referred to the following gridded Global Precipitation Climate Centre (GPCC) products:

GPCC Precipitation Analysis Climatology 1951-2000 (GPCC_CLIMAT) with high representativeness, for application as a reference, and for utilization of the anomaly interpolation method.

GPCC Precipitation Analysis Monthly (GPCC_MONTHLY) with high accuracy, for, e.g., verification of models, or for analysis of historical global precipitation, or for research concerning the global water cycle, e.g., teleconnection analyses.

GPCC Precipitation Analysis Daily (GPCC_FD_D) 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.

GPCC HOMPRA-Europe (HOMPRA-Europe) with homogenized precipitation data, suitable for trend analyses.

GPCC Monitoring Product (GPCC_MP) with high availability and reasonable timeliness, for applications like calibration of satellite data, or early annual reporting.

GPCC First Guess Monthly Product (GPCC_FG) with high timeliness, to be applied for, e.g., drought monitoring.

GPCC First Guess Daily Product (GPCC_FG_D) with high timeliness, to be applied for, e.g., drought monitoring.

GPCC Drought Index Product (GPCC_DI_M) with high timeliness, to be applied for, e.g., drought monitoring.
