Resource Abstract:
- description: These daily gridded observations at 1/8 degree spatial resolution (about 12 km) are a baseline dataset to be
compered to downscaled climate predictions. The grid used is the same as has been used by other 1/8th degree spatial resolution
downscaling projects. The updated data were processed exactly as in the reference above with the single exception of the precipitation
time-of-observation adjustment. For this updated dataset, if a meteorological station has a time of observation before noon,
the precipitation is assigned to the prior day, otherwise no adjustment is made. Before using this dataset, please review
the materials here: https://my.usgs.gov/confluence/display/GeoDataPortal/2014/04/16/Notice%3A+Evaluation+of+Maurer+gridded+observational+datasets+and+their+impacts+on+downscaled+products;
