Title
East Africa - CHIRPS Seasonal Rainfall Accumulation Anomaly by Pentad
Description
Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) is a 35+ year quasi-global rainfall data set. It is a gridded rainfall time series for trend analysis and seasonal drought monitoring, spans 50°S-50°N (and all longitudes) and ranges from 1981 to near-present. The anomaly refers to the difference between current rainfall and the average rainfall that occurred between 1981 and 2010 in millimeters. For more information visit the [CHIRPS site](https://www.chc.ucsb.edu/data/chirps). This dataset contains the latest available CHIRPS anomaly data. The full list of data available is available from USGS for [Mar-May data](https://edcintl.cr.usgs.gov/downloads/sciweb1/shared/fews/web/africa/east/pentadal/chirps/seasaccum/marmay/anom/lta/downloads/pentadal/), [Oct-Dec data](https://edcintl.cr.usgs.gov/downloads/sciweb1/shared/fews/web/africa/east/pentadal/chirps/seasaccum/octdec/anom/lta/downloads/pentadal/), and others. Additionally, subnational statistics (mean, min, max) have been calculated for Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia and are available in the csv resource.
