GIDS-1 Hourly Precipitation Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/1.66

Summary
This composite contains hourly precipitation observations 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.
