Climate Hazards center InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) is a 30+ year
quasi-global rainfall data set. Spanning 50�S-50�N (and all longitudes), starting in 1981 to near-present,
CHIRPS incorporates 0.05� resolution satellite imagery with in-situ station data to create gridded
rainfall time series for trend analysis and seasonal drought monitoring. As of February 12th, 2015,
version 2.0 of CHIRPS is complete and available to the public.
