General user recommendations
Users are referred to following gridded Global Precipitation Climate Centre (GPCC) products:
GPCC Climatology 1951-2000 (
GPCC_Clim) with high representativeness, for application as a reference, and for utilization of the anomaly interpolation method.
GPCC Full Data Monthly Product (
GPCC_FD)
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 Full Data Daily Product (
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.
