Peak precipitation month and preferred sources for extreme precipitation.
The dataset consist of 4 different files. File PPM.nc represents the global Peak Precipitation Month (PPM) computed using daily precipitation data from the CPC Global Unified Gauge-Based Analysis of Daily Precipitation (Chen et al., 2008). The PPM is defined individually for each grid point over all...
