Precipitation calculated in the Malaprabha (K4) sub-basin area, derived from the Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) (ftp://ftp.chg.ucsb.edu/pub/org/chg/products/CHIRPS-2.0/).
Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) is a 35+ year quasi-global rainfall data set. Spanning 50°S-50°N (and all longitudes) and ranging from 1981 to near-present, CHIRPS incorporates in-house climatology, CHPclim, 0.05° resolution satellite imagery, and in-situ station data to create gridded rainfall time series for trend analysis and seasonal drought monitoring.
