GRENE-ei CAAM 0.05°×0.05° Grid Daily Precipitation in Thailand

This is a 0.05°(lat) x 0.05°(lon) gridded data set of spatially-interpolated daily precipitation made from station precipitation in Thailand. Most of the data are obtained from the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) by Prof. Jun Matsumoto (Tokyo Metropolitan University/JAMSTEC). We have not taken account of topographical effects, nor systematic errors of raingauges. In our product, data are given on grid boxes over land whose altitude is below 500 m only. Furthermore, those grid boxes which are far from any observing stations to be void of data. The threshold distance is predetermined by subjective decision of the analyst. The production of this data set is also a part of GRENE-ei (Green Network of Excellence, environmental information) CAAM (Climatic Changes and Evaluation of Their Effects on Agriculture in Asian Monsoon Region) of MEXT (the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan).
