titleGPCC Full Data Monthly Product Version 2022, precipitation in mm/month, 2.5 degree
summaryThe Full Data Monthly Product is of much higher accuracy compared to the GPCC near real-time products mentioned above. Therefore, its application is recommended for hydrometeorological model verification and water cycle studies, e.g. in context of UNESCO, GEWEX, and GTN-H (Global Terrestrial Network for Hydrology). This analysis product is based on all stations, near real-time and non real-time, in the GPCC data base supplying data for the individual month. The GPCC Full Data Monthly Product Version 2022 covers the period from 1891 to 2020 ; this new extended product version using the new GPCC climatology as analysis background was generated in May 2022. The data coverage per month varies from less than 20,000 to more than 52,000 stations. The full data re-analyses will be updated at irregular time intervals subsequent to significant data base improvements.
