Grand Average Precipitation Climatology (2000-2023)
Grand Average Precipitation Climatology ranging from June 2000 to May 2023
Newly improved Grand Average Precipitation Climatology dataset covering June 2000 to May 2023. The Grand Average Precipitation Climatology dataset takes the entire record of global precipitation from 2000 to 2023 and calculates the average precipitation for the entire globe. This new and improved product shows full global coverage, better sampling in time, and improved algorithms provide wider coverage and even more confidence in the results. The satellite input allows NASA researchers to estimate precipitation over both land and ocean, which networks of surface sensors do not provide. The most reliable estimates are provided over ocean; warm land is second-best, coastal areas are third, and snow/ice-covered regions are least certain.
Colorbar for the IMERG Grand Average Precipitation climatology dataset. Cooler colors are areas that receive very little rain. Warm colors receive more rain.
