- Abstract:
-
10-minute grids of mean monthly precipitation (mm/month) over global land areas, excluding Antarctica. Means for the period from 1961 to 1990. Data interpolated into Arc Info Grid format from ascii data files available through Oxford University (<http://www.geog.ox.ac.uk>), the Climate Research Unit (<http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk>), and the International Water Management Institute (<http://www.iwmi.org>).
- Purpose:
-
For use in many applications in applied climatology, biocgeochemical modelling, hydrology and agricultural meteorology.
