Description:

Three satellite gridded daily precipitation datasets—PERSIANN-CDR, GPCP, and CMORPH—that are part of the NOAA/Climate Data Record (CDR) program are evaluated in this work. The three satellite precipitation products (SPPs) are analyzed over their entire period of record, ranging from over 20 years to over 35 years. The products intercomparisons are performed at various temporal (daily to annual) resolutions and for different spatial domains in order to provide a detailed assessment of each SPP strengths and weaknesses. This evaluation includes comparison with in situ datasets from the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN-Daily) and the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN).
