Lineage
|
Gridded datasets were generated using the Barnes
two-dimensional analysis. The grid point
resolution of the data is 0.25 degrees (approx 25km).
All available rainfall stations were used in the analyses,
and the input station data underwent standard quality control. |
|
Positional Accuracy
|
The observational (station) data on which the analyses were
based have an associated accuracy of the order of 0.01 degrees (approximately
1km) or better. |
