GPCC - Global Precipitation Climatology Centre - Global Rainfall over land dataset (1951-2000)

The Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) dataset containing the global analysis of monthly precipitation on earths landsurface based on in situ raingauge data from 9,343 stations worldwide. Otherwise known as the VASClimO 50-Year Climatology (Ver1.0) with monthly gridded time series precipitation analysis data available for the period 1951-2000 with spatial resolutions of 1.0° x 1.0°. The GPCC is operated by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD, National Meteorological Service of Germany). VASClimO is preferred for analysis of temporal climate variability, in particular the spatial distribution of climate change with respect to precipitation. The GPCC VASClimO product is an input to the IPCC 4AR. The CSIRO version of this dataset has had all years concatenated to form one file and has also been processed to be available as a climatology, anomaly, seasonal anomaly, and coefficient format.

全球降水气候学中心（Global Precipitation Climatology Centre，GPCC）数据集基于全球9343个站点的原位雨量计观测数据，包含地球陆地表面月降水的全球分析结果。该数据集又被称为VASClimO 50年气候学数据集（版本1.0），提供1951-2000年期间的逐月网格化时间序列降水分析数据，空间分辨率为1.0°×1.0°。GPCC由德国国家气象局（Deutscher Wetterdienst，DWD）运营管理。VASClimO数据集更适用于时间尺度气候变异性分析，尤其是针对降水相关的气候变化空间分布研究。GPCC VASClimO产品已被纳入政府间气候变化专门委员会第四次评估报告（IPCC 4AR）的输入数据集。该数据集的澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation，CSIRO）版本已将所有年份的数据拼接为单个文件，并经过标准化处理后可提供气候学、距平、季节距平以及系数四种格式的数据。
