Abstract: Abstract. We undertook a comprehensive evaluation of 22 gridded (quasi-)global (sub-)daily precipitation (P) datasets for the period 2000–2016. Thirteen non-gauge-corrected P datasets were evaluated using daily P gauge observations from 76 086 gauges worldwide. Another nine gauge-corrected datasets were evaluated using hydrological modeling, by calibrating the HBV conceptual model against streamflow records for each of 9053 small to medium-sized (

WorldClim 2: new 1-km spatial resolution climate surfaces for global land areas
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors created a new dataset of spatially interpolated monthly climate data for global land areas at a very high spatial resolution (approximately 1 km2), including monthly temperature (minimum, maximum and average), precipitation, solar radiation, vapour pressure and wind speed, aggregated across a target temporal range of 1970-2000, using data from between 9000 and 60,000 weather stations.
