CHIRPS stands for Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data. It is a global rainfall dataset that combines satellite imagery with in-situ station data to create high-resolution, reliable, and near-real-time precipitation estimates. Developed by the Climate Hazards Group at the University of California, Santa Barbara, CHIRPS provides daily, (5-day), and monthly precipitation estimates from 1981 to the present.
Key features of CHIRPS include:
1. **Spatial Coverage**: Global, with a focus on the tropics and subtropics.
2. **Resolution**: 0.05° x 0.05° (approximately 5.5 km).
3. **Temporal Coverage**: 1981 to present, updated quasi-real-time.
4. **Data Sources**: Combines satellite data, such as infrared imagery, with ground-based observations to improve accuracy.
5. **Applications**: Used in drought monitoring, agricultural planning, hydrological modeling, and climate research.
CHIRPS data is widely used by researchers, meteorologists, and policymakers to analyze precipitation patterns, assess water resources, and manage natural disasters.
