The initial version of Global Historical Climatology Network was developed in the summer of 1992. [3] This first version, known as Version 1 was a collaboration between research stations and data sets alike to the World Weather Records program and the World Monthly Surface Station Climatology from the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

PERSIANN, "Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks", [1] [2] is a satellite-based precipitation retrieval algorithm that provides near real-time rainfall information. The algorithm uses infrared (IR) satellite data from global geosynchronous satellites as the primary source of precipitation ...
Data is provided at multiple "levels" of processing, from raw satellite measurements to best-estimate global precipitation maps using combinations of all the constellation observations and other meteorological data. All data from the mission is made freely available to the public on NASA websites. [7]

The tropical zones have the highest number of storm events followed by the temperate climate. In a recent study, [13] researchers from 63 countries combined 30-minutes rainfall data in order to estimate the global rainfall erosivity (an index combining the amount, frequency and intensity of rainfall). The arid and cold climate zones have very ...
NCDC also maintained World Data Center for Meteorology, Asheville. The four World Centers (U.S., Russia, Japan and China) have created a free and open situation in which data and dialogue are exchanged. NCDC maintained the U.S. Climate Reference Network datasets and a vast number of other climate monitoring products. [7]
A climograph is a graphical representation of a location's basic climate. Climographs display data for two variables: monthly average temperature; monthly average precipitation. [1] These are useful tools to quickly describe a location's climate.
