DMSP SSM/I Pentad and Monthly Averages https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/15.404 Summary Gridded data (and GIFs) of five-day and monthly averages of rainfall, cloud liquid water and integrated water vapor are produced from all available satellites (including F10, F11, F13 and F14). The data are gridded into 0.5 x 0.5 degree latitude / longitude extending from 60N to 60S. Identifiers * Local archive identifier: 15.404 Citation Climate Diagnostic Center (CDC), NOAA. 2005.
