Title: Africa - GPCC Monthly Precipitation Product
Description: The Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) Monthly Precipitation dataset provides gridded gauge-analysis products focusing on land-surface precipitation. This dataset serves as a high-quality observational baseline for climate monitoring across Africa. It is constructed from quality-controlled data from thousands of rain gauges worldwide. At ACMAD, this data often serves as the "truth" or reference layer for calibrating satellite estimates and for calculating long-term indices like SPI. It is critical for retrospective analysis, model verification, and understanding the climatological context of current weather events.
