NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) of Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN-CDR), Version 1 Revision 1

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
PERSIANN Precipitation Climate Data Record (PERSIANN-CDR) is a daily quasi-global precipitation product for the period of 1982 to the present (note that there is a delay in data availability due to processing and data input availability). The data covers from 60 degrees S to 60 degrees N and 0 degrees to 360 degrees longitude at 0.25 degree spatial resolution. The product is developed using Gridded Satellite (GridSat-B1) IR data that are derived from merging ISCCP B1 IR data, along with GPCP version 2.2.

Resource lineage description
Lineage statement
The data were produced by the University of California at Irvine, and are archived at the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). The initial release of PERSIANN (V01r00) incorporated bad/noisy data from the input source (GridSat-B1 IRWIN), resulting in the dataset needing to be re-processed. Version v01r00 of PERSIANN is not available from the Archive. However, PERSIANN-CDR v01r01, the current PERSIANN-CDR, is based on version v2 of the GridSat CDR which contains fewer issues.

measure Description  The Data Stewardship Maturity Matrix (DSMM) is a unified framework that defines criteria for each of nine components based on measurable practices, which can be used to apply a progressive, 6-level rating to an individual dataset, representing stewardship maturity stages rated as Not Assessed or Not Available (Level 0), adHoc (Level 1), minimum (Level 2), intermediate (Level 3), advanced (Level 4), and optimal (Level 5).
evaluation Method Description  Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment was evaluated by the metadata content editor for the NOAA OneStop project using the Scientific Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment Model Template v4.0.
