Precipitation Estimates
Data: Daily precipitation estimates, aggregated by dekad (approximately 10 days) on a 0.25° x 0.25° latitude/lonitude grid
Data Source: Climate Prediction Center Morphing Technique
(CMORPH)

Description: These data are presented in "dekads". Every month has three dekads, such that the first two dekads have 10 days (i.e., 1-10, 11-20), and the third is comprised of the remaining days of the month. Therefore, the length of the third dekad of each month is not consistent and varies from 8-11 days, depending on the length of the month. In order to view data in this interface, dates must be entered as dekads.
