DATASET OVERVIEW

Abstract

Asian Precipitation - Highly-Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation (APHRODITE's ) of Water Resources project develops state-of-the-art daily precipitation and temperature datasets with high-resolution grids for Asia. The datasets are created primarily with data obtained from a rain-gauge-observation network.

Product AphroTemp offers gridded daily mean temperature of the monsoon Asia for 1961-2007.

DATA PROCESSING

Data Processing (1)

General Explanation of the data producer's knowledge about the lineage of a dataset

The gridded fields of daily mean temperature are defined by interpolating

gauge observations obtained from meteorological stations throughout the region.

for the details of interpolation algorithm and input data.

DATA REMARKS

Details on quality control method of our product is described in Hamada et al.(2011)
