The data covers from 60 degrees S to 60 degrees N and 0 degrees to 360 degrees longitude at 0.25 degree spatial resolution. The product is developed using Gridded Satellite (GridSat-B1) IR data that are derived from merging ISCCP B1 IR data, along with GPCP version 2.2. Purpose: This dataset provides a high quality Climate Data Record (CDR) of precipitation. Data are intended to support Climatologists, Hydrologists, Hydrometeorologists, and Hydroclimatologists in various forms of climate research, including extreme event (flood and drought) analysis.

The initial release of PERSIANN (V01r00) incorporated bad/noisy data from the input source (GridSat-B1 IRWIN), resulting in the dataset needing to be re-processed. Version v01r00 of PERSIANN is not available from the Archive. However, PERSIANN-CDR v01r01, the current PERSIANN-CDR, is based on version v2 of the GridSat CDR which contains fewer issues.
