Global Urban Precipitation Anomalies

This research reports the global urban precipitation anomalies for over one thousand cities worldwide. We provide the shapefiles of one urban domain and three rural domains (of different distances from the urban edges) for each city. The precipitation data include the mean daily precipitation, extreme precipitation magnitude, and extreme precipitation frequency in the urban and rural domains between 2001 and 2019 based on the IMERG precipitation dataset. Besides, data about mean elevation, wind, land surface temperature, aerosol optical thickness, and urbanization are also provided.
