Rainfall Anomalies from Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Station Data (Chirps) using Digital Earth Africa Data Cube

Description

What is it About

Rainfall anomalies are deviations of rainfall from long-run averages. They are useful for identifying wet and dry periods which can be linked to climatically influenced patterns such as flooding, river flows, and agricultural production. 

This notebook allows for easy replication of analysis across Africa, by simply changing the analysis parameters. The user guide provides an overview of the analysis, resources used/supplied, and directions on how to reproduce the analysis.

This knowledge package includes the necessary data, computational resources, and instructions required to reproduce the methodology used in Digital Earth Africa's 'Rainfall Anomalies from Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Station Data (Chirps)' Jupyter Notebook. 

The User's Guide provides an overview of the application.
