SGP97: NCEP/CPC Gage Only Daily Dataset. Version 1.0

The Climate Prediction Center (CPC), a component of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) acquires gage-based precipitation reports in near real-time from several thousand sites across the contiguous 48 states of the USA. There are approximately 5,800 daily rain gage reports per day out of a total available set of 9,000. These daily precipitation reports are collected by the 12 River Forecast Centers (RFC) and sent to NCEP. This dataset contains the NCEP Daily Precipitation Gage Data. This dataset is provided as is and was not quality controlled by UCAR/JOSS.

美国国家环境预报中心（National Centers for Environmental Prediction, NCEP）下设的气候预测中心（Climate Prediction Center, CPC），从美国本土48州的数千个观测站点以近实时方式采集基于雨量计的降水观测报告。当前可用观测站点总计约9000个，每日可获取约5800份每日雨量计降水报告。上述每日降水观测报告由12个河流预报中心（River Forecast Centers, RFC）收集后报送至NCEP。本数据集即为NCEP每日雨量计降水数据集。本数据集按现状提供，未经过UCAR/JOSS的质量控制。
