| hasSummary |
-
The Climate Prediction Center at NCEP compiled a multi-year gridded
hourly precipitation data set over the United States. One of the
main goals of the project was to produce a manageable
research-quality data set suitable for studies of precipitation
variability on timescales ranging from diurnal to interannual. This
data set was derived from the hourly observations of approximately
2500 U.S. stations. The observations were gridded, using a modified
Cressman scheme, into 2-degree latitude by 2.5-degree longitude
boxes.
