CPC Merged Analysis of Precipitation

The monthly data set consists of two files containing global monthly averaged precipitation rate values at a 2.5x2.5 resolution starting in 1979. Values are obtained from 5 kinds of satellite estimates (GPI,OPI,SSM/I scattering, SSM/I emission and MSU). The enhanced file also includes blended NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Precipitation values. The other just includes the satellite estimates.
Pentad data is also available.
