- It is a hybrid product that uses remote sensing, rain gauge stations, and sounding observations. Daily precipitation product at higher resolution than its companion GPCP Monthly product. Considered to be a Climate Data Record. May have some limitations in the North due to use of various datasets. Product is adjusted using GPCP Monthly product to agree climatologically.
