The terrestrial preciptation estimates, are available in daily to annual time intervals. Africa is available. Data is available in several formats (NetCDF, TIFF, BIL, PNG) and are located in separate subdirectories. Two CHIRPS products are produced operationally: a rapid preliminary version, and a later final version. The preliminary CHIRPS product is available, for the entire domain, two days after the end of a pentad (2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd and 27th). The preliminary CHIRPS uses only Global Telecommunications System (GTS) and Conagua (Mexico) data. The final CHIRPS product takes advantage of several other stations sources and is complete sometime in the third week of the following month. Final products for all times/domains/formats are calculated at that time. ongoing Pete Peterson UC Santa Barbara Santa Barbara California 93106 US pete@geog.ucsb.edu https://chg.geog.ucsb.edu/data/chirps pointOfContact Chris Funk UC Santa Barbara Santa Barbara California 93106 US chris@geog.ucsb.edu author continual Continental Spatial scope Climate LSC categories precipitation soil fertility management soil water conservation LSC tags continental None unknown eng utf8 geoscientificInformation 1 -21.79687 62.050781 -35.746512 36.597889 1981 2022 https://www.chc.ucsb.edu/data/chirps WWW:LINK Website information ftp://chg-ftpout.geog.ucsb.edu/pub/org/chg/products/CHIRPS-2.0/docs/USGS-DS832.CHIRPS.pdf citation Citation Funk, C.C., Peterson, P.J., Landsfeld, M.F., Pedreros, D.H., Verdin, J.P., Rowland, J.D., Romero, B.E., Husak, G.J., Michaelsen, J.C., and Verdin, A.P., 2014, A quasi-global precipitation time series for drought monitoring: U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 832, 4 p. information https://data.chc.ucsb.edu/products/CHIRPS-2.0/africa_2-monthly/tifs image/tiff 2-monthly precipitation 2 monthly download https://data.chc.ucsb.edu/products/CHIRPS-2.0/africa_3-monthly/tifs image/tiff 3-monthly precipitation 3 monthly download https://data.chc.ucsb.edu/products/CHIRPS-2.0/africa_6-hourly/tifs image/tiff 6-monthly precipitation 6 monthly download https://data.chc.ucsb.edu/products/CHIRPS-2.0/africa_daily/tifs image/tiff Africa subset daily fields at 0.05 and 0.25 degree resolution precipitation daily download https://data.chc.ucsb.edu/products/CHIRPS-2.0/africa_dekad/tifs image/tiff Africa subset dekadal fields precipitation dekadal fields download https://data.chc.ucsb.edu/products/CHIRPS-2.0/africa_monthly/tifs image/tiff Africa subset monthly fields precipitation monthly download https://data.chc.ucsb.edu/products/CHIRPS-2.0/africa_pentad/tifs image/tiff Africa subset monthly pentadal fields precipitation pentadal download https://git.wur.nl/isric/lsc-hubs/rwanda-hub/-/blob/rwanda/portals/Africa/data.chc.ucsb.edu/data.chc.ucsb.edu.yml canonical Source of the record canonical dataset continual
