High-Resolution Daily Precipitation Data over the Philippines (Alcantara and Ahn, 2023)

The high-resolution nationwide 20-year (2001-2020) daily precipitation data over the Philippines generated by Alcantara and Ahn (2023) is a dataset that provides daily precipitation data for the entire country with a spatial resolution of 0.1° x 0.1°. This dataset is created using the Quadruple Collocation (QC) approach, which combines four parent datasets - ERA5, PERSIANN, CHIRPS, and GPM - to produce a more accurate dataset than any of the individual parent datasets. The dataset is available in NetCDF format (version 4), which is a standardized data format commonly used for the exchange of large data files. This format can be read using major programming languages such as R, Python, C++, and others, making it easily accessible for use in various research applications. With its high spatial and temporal resolution, the dataset can be a valuable resource for climate research, hydrological modeling, and other related fields. In the future, data from 2021 up to present will also be added.
