Impacts of spatial and temporal station availability on gridded precipitation products in Central America by González‐Méndez, Isabel, Pons, Diego, Anderson, Talia G., Ayes-Rivera, Irma, Anchukaitis, Kevin J.

“…Abstract Gridded precipitation data sets have become essential for understanding climate variability and long‐term trends; however, their accuracy and reliability strongly depend on the availability and the spatial and temporal distribution of in situ meteorological observations. Here, we evaluate the performance of four gridded precipitation products: the Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station Data (CHIRPS) v2, the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) Full Data Monthly Product v2022, the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) TS 4.07, and the ERA5‐Land (ERA5‐L) reanalysis, against a network of weather stations across Central America compiled from the regional meteorological service agencies. …”
