GCIP/ESOP-97 Surface: Hourly Precipitation Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/17.024

Summary
The Hourly Precipitation Composite was formed from several data sources (i.e.,
National Climatic Data Center hourly precipitation data, National Centers for
Environmental Prediction hourly precipitation, National Soil Tilth Laboratory
hourly precipitation, and the precipitation data extracted from the ESOP-97
Hourly Surface Composite). Data from these sources were quality controlled and
merged to form this precipitation composite.
