#### Description

Climate Hazards Center InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS)
is a 30+ year quasi-global rainfall dataset. CHIRPS incorporates
0.05° resolution satellite imagery with in-situ station data
to create gridded rainfall time series for trend analysis and seasonal
drought monitoring.
