We are pleased to announce that a new dataset has been published today, 18 December 2024, in the Climate Data Store (CDS):
This dataset, produced by the EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring, provides global estimates of precipitation based on satellite observations, allowing the investigation and quantification of many aspects of precipitation, possibly in conjunction with other datasets covering components of the hydrological cycle.
This precipitation data record and its processing chain are called Global Interpolated RAinFall Estimate (GIRAFE). GIRAFE provides a global 1° gridded daily accumulated precipitation amount together with uncertainty estimates coming from the sampling, and a global 1° gridded monthly mean of daily accumulation.
This dataset will have regular updates, with the first ICDR extension covering the whole of 2024 expected to be delivered in September 2025.
For any enquiries regarding this dataset, please contact us .
