Description
Estimating rainfall variations in space and time is a key aspect of drought early warning and environmental monitoring. CHIRPS was created in collaboration with scientists at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center in order to deliver complete, reliable, up-to-date data sets for a number of early warning objectives, like trend analysis and seasonal drought monitoring.
The current CHIRPS datasets that are accessible from DE Africa's platforms are the CHIRPS-2.0 Africa Monthly dataset, copied from here, and the CHIRPS-2.0 Africa Daily dataset, copied from here. They have been converted to cloud-optimized GeoTIFF and indexed into DE Africa's Open-Data-Cube.
