Weekly Precipitation from CHIRPS for Barranquilla, Colombia, 1981-2022

This dataset is part of the ESCALA (Study of Urban Health and Climate Change in Informal Settlements in Latin America) project that was funded by the Lacuna Fund of the Meridian Institute https://lacunafund.org/.

CHIRPS (Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station, https://www.chc.ucsb.edu/data/chirps) is a global precipitation dataset with a spatial resolution of 0.05° (approximately 5 km) that provides information from 1981 to the present, with daily temporal resolution. This dataset contains total, mean, minimum and maximum rainfall in mm averaged per epidemiological week.

Each instance represents one epidemiological week with its respective sum, minimum, average and maximum rainfall, and number of rainy days.

1. The original data are in NETCDF (.nc) format, which is a multidimensional data format. The data were processed and converted into a tabular format, separated by semicolons (;). The total precipitation, as well as the minimum, average, and maximum precipitation values per epidemiological week were calculated. The number of rainy days was also added, indicating the number of days with rainfall in each epidemiological week.
2. The variables LAT and LON indicate the location of the center of each pixel.

该数据集是ESCALA（拉丁美洲非正式定居点城市健康与气候变化研究，Study of Urban Health and Climate Change in Informal Settlements in Latin America）项目的一部分，由Meridian Institute的Lacuna Fund资助（https://lacunafund.org/）。

CHIRPS（气候灾害组红外降水与站点数据，Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station，https://www.chc.ucsb.edu/data/chirps）是一款全球降水数据集，空间分辨率为0.05°（约5公里），时间跨度从1981年至今，时间分辨率为日尺度。本数据集包含按流行病学周平均的总降雨量、平均降雨量、最小降雨量和最大降雨量（单位：毫米）。

每个实例代表一个流行病学周，涵盖该周对应的总降雨量、最小降雨量、平均降雨量、最大降雨量及降雨天数。

1. 原始数据采用NETCDF（.nc）格式（一种多维数据格式），经处理后转换为以分号（;）分隔的表格格式。计算了每个流行病学周的总降水量、最小降水量、平均降水量和最大降水量，并补充了降雨天数（即各流行病学周内有降雨的天数）。
2. 变量LAT和LON表示每个像素中心的位置。
