Summary
This composite contains daily precipitation totals from observing sites in the
GCIP/GIDS-1 domain (the central United States). Data included in the composite
are from National Weather Service observing stations, research
instrumentation, and various regional and state observing stations. Data have
been converted to a common format, standard units, and uniform quality control
of the data has been performed.
