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 APHRO_ME offers gridded daily precipitation of the Middle East for 1951-2007.

The gridded fields of daily precipitation are defined by interpolating
gauge observations obtained from meteorological stations throughout the region.
