ArcticRIMS: Daily Precipitation From Statistical Reconstructions
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.239

Summary
Providing rapid updates of gridded precipitation fields is difficult due to
the degradation of the station network. Starting about 1990, many stations in
the Former Soviet Union (FSU) and Canada closed. Canada is also seeing a trend
toward automation. In recognition, we are providing updated fields using
statistical techniques. This reconstruction technique has also been used to
compile fields back to 1980 to provide a period of overlap with gridded fields
based on interpolation of monthly station precipitation and daily
disaggregation (see DAILY PRECIPITATION, FROM MONTHLY STATION RECORDS AND
DISAGGREGATION). The reconstructions employ a four-step approach. As part of
the data processing of ArcticRIMS (http://RIMS.unh.edu) based at the Water
Systems Analysis Group, University of New Hampshire all data sets have been
aggregated to multiple temporal and spatial resolutions. The data is presented
in 24 sub-datasets of different spatial and temporal aggregations.
