GCIP/ESOP-98 Surface: Daily Precipitation Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/18.026

Summary
The Daily Precipitation Composite was formed from several data sources (i.e.,
National Centers for Environmental Prediction daily precipitation, National
Weather Service Cooperative Observers daily precipitation data, W.K. Kellogg
Biological Stations daily precipitation, and the daily precipitation data
extracted from the ESOP-98 Hourly Precipitation Composite). Data from these
sources were quality controlled and merged to form this precipitation
composite.
