Retrospective Analysis

     In support of climate monitoring, climate prediction and applied research, the Climate Prediction Center has developed a new Global Gauge-based Daily Precipitation Analysis and it has replaced several old regional retrospective analyses. This new dataset covers both historical and real-time domain.

     For real-time data, go to:

      ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/precip/CPC_UNI_PRCP/GAUGE_GLB/RT/

      For historical data, go to:

      ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/precip/CPC_UNI_PRCP/GAUGE_GLB/V1.0/

      Information about this dataset can be found at:

      ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/precip/CPC_UNI_PRCP/GAUGE_GLB/DOCU/

      A subset of the above dataset over the continental U.S. at a finer resolution (0.25-degree) is also made available. To access this dataset, go to:
