Abstract

AbstractThe Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) monthly precipitation dataset contains historical time series for thousands of land surface stations worldwide. Initially released in 1992 and revised in 1998, the dataset has been employed in a variety of applications over the past three decades, including operational monitoring, applied research, and international assessments. This paper describes the data and methods used to compile the latest edition (version 4), which has three major enhancements. The first enhancement is to the station network, which increased in size by a factor of five due to the inclusion of dozens of new source datasets, most notably GHCN Daily (GHCNd). The second improvement is the application of a rule-based algorithm to compare and merge records representing the same location. The third enhancement is to the quality assurance approach, now consisting of 18 new checks based on GHCNd and other operational systems. Updated monthly, the resulting dataset consists of time series of monthly precipitation totals at more than 120,000 worldwide stations, including more than 33,000 active observing sites.
