Precipitation (Global - Mean Yearly - ~19km)
Grid with estimated yearly precipitation with a spatial resolution of 10 arc minutes. The dataset contains average values for global land areas, excluding Antarctica, for the period 1961-1990. The dataset has been prepared according to the FAO Penman - Monteith method with limited climatic data as described in FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper 56. The dataset consists one ASCII-grid with yearly data in mm/year. ASCII-grids with mean monthly data in mm/day * 10 are also available as described in the associated resources of this metadata.

The station data were interpolated as a function of latitude, longitude and elevation using thin-plate smoothing splines. The accuracy of the interpolations are assessed using cross-validation and by comparison with other datsets.
