#### Description

The Climate Hazards Center Infrared Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS v3)
is a 40+ year, high-resolution quasi-global rainfall dataset. It spans
60°N to 60°S and covers all longitudes, providing data from 1981 to
near-present. CHIRPS v3 combines satellite-based thermal infrared rainfall
estimates with in-situ station observations to produce a 0.05° gridded
rainfall time series over land. This is version 3.0 of the dataset, for more
information see [the CHC page](https://www.chc.ucsb.edu/data/chirps3).

CHIRPS is fundamentally a pentad and monthly product from which other
time steps are derived. This daily dataset ('rnl') uses daily precipitation
from the ECMWF ERA Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) data product to partition
pentadal CHIRPS-v3 precipitation totals into daily amounts.
