African Center of Meteorological Applications for Development (ACMAD)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.acmad-gpcc-monthly-precipitationHumanitarian Data ExchangePublicAfrica - GPCC Monthly Precipitation ProductDatasetsAngolaBurundiBeninBurkina FasoBotswanaCentral African RepublicCôte d'IvoireCameroonDemocratic Republic of the CongoCongoComorosCabo VerdeDjiboutiAlgeriaEgyptEritreaWestern SaharaEthiopiaGabonGhanaGuineaGambiaGuinea-BissauEquatorial GuineaKenyaLiberiaLibyaLesothoMoroccoMadagascarMaliMozambiqueMauritaniaMauritiusMalawiNamibiaNigerNigeriaRwandaSudanSenegalSierra LeoneSomaliaSouth SudanSao Tome and PrincipeEswatiniSeychellesChadTogoTunisiaUnited Republic of TanzaniaUgandaSouth AfricaZambiaZimbabwe2007-01-01 to 2024-03-31
