GCIP/ESOP-96 Surface: Hourly Precipitation Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/16.004

Summary
The Hourly Precipitation Composite was formed from several data sources (i.e.,
Arkansas-Red Basin River Forecast Center, National Climatic Data Center Hourly
Precipitation data, National Centers for Environmental Prediction, and the
precipitation data extracted from the ESOP-96 Hourly Surface Composite). Data
from these sources were quality controlled and merged to form this
precipitation composite.
