Data sets

Improving the Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation (CHIRP) using WHU-SGCC method over the Jinsha River Basin from 1990 to 2014 G. Shen, N. Chen, W. Wang, and Z. Chen https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.905376

Short summary

The development of effective methods for high-accuracy precipitation estimates over complex terrain and on a daily scale is important for mountainous hydrological applications. This study offers a novel approach called WHU-SGCC by blending rain gauge and satellite data to estimate daily precipitation at 0.05° resolution over the Jinsha River basin, the complicated mountainous terrain with sparse rain gauge data, considering the spatial correlation and historical precipitation characteristics.
