Summary: | Monthly precipitation in mm at 1 km resolution based on SM2RAIN-ASCAT 2007-2021 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2615278). Downscaled to 1 km resolution using gdalwarp (cubic splines) and combined with WorldClim (https://worldclim.org/data/worldclim21.html) and CHELSA Climate (https://chelsa-climate.org/downloads/) monthly values. Final values are estimated as a simple average between the three precipitation data sources; a more objective approach would be to use training points e.g. meteo-station monthly values, then train an ensemble model using the 3 data sources as independent variables. Processing steps are available here. Antarctica is not included. Standard deviation (sd) indicates a difference between the 3 data sources. To access and visualize maps use: https://openlandmap.org.

File naming convention: clm = theme: climate, precipitation = variable: precipitation, wc.v2.1.chelsa.v2.1.sm2rain.oct = determination method: long-term average values for October, m = mean value, 1km = spatial resolution / block support: 1 km, s0.0cm = vertical reference: land surface, 1980.2020 = time reference: from 1980 to 2020, v0.3 = version number: 0.3 |
