African Rainfall Climatology Version 2 - (ARC2)
Africa Rainfall Climatology 2.0 is a 29-yr precipitation estimation dataset centered over Africa at 0.1° spatial resolution. ARC2 uses inputs from two sources:
- 3-hourly geostationary infrared (IR) data centered over Africa from the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) and
- Quality-controlled Global Telecommunication System (GTS) gauge observations reporting 24-h rainfall accumulations over Africa.
