DataSetQuality
Gridbox-by-gridbox estimates of random error are under development. A current scheme does not exist for a similar estimate of bias. However, the Monthly GPCP Satellite-Gauge estimates are constructed using calibration to state-of-the-art climatologies. Validation studies are being undertaken where sufficient data exist, mostly over land, with some coverage in tropical ocean regions.

This data set continues to be validated. Please contact George Huffman, email: [email protected], for current known problems and updates.
Validation_Data
Validation of the GPCPV3 data sets is currently in process. Previous validation efforts for GPCPV2.2 included comparisons with high-density rain gauge data sets (not part of the GPCC gauge analysis) and PACRAIN atoll gauges.
