SSM/I Derived Monthly Rainfall Indices
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
This Global Precipitation Climate Project (GPCP) dataset contains 89 months of DMSP SSM/I derived monthly rainfall indices on a 5-degree latitude/longitude grid covering the oceans from 50S latitude to 50N.
Description
The period covered is July 1987 to December 1994 (December 1987 is missing because the SSM/I was turned off). DMSP F8 SSM/I data were used from July 1987 to December 1991 and DMSP F11 SSM/I data were used from January 1992 to December 1994.
