Climate Prediction Center (CPC) Morphing Technique (MORPH)¶

The Satellite Precipitation - CMORPH Climate Data Record (CDR) consists of satellite precipitation estimates that have been bias corrected and reprocessed using the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) Morphing Technique (MORPH) to form a global, high resolution precipitation analysis at a 25-km (½-deg x ½-deg) spatial resolution updated daily from 1980-present. Data is reprocessed on a global grid with daily temporal resolution. You can get additional information here or on climate engine org page here.
