GCIP/ESOP-98 Surface: Hourly Precipitation Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/18.025

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, Park Falls Wisconsin Tower Meteorological data, W.K.
Kellogg Biological Stations hourly precipitation data, and the precipitation
data extracted from the ESOP-98 Hourly Surface Composite). Data from these
sources were quality controlled and merged to form this precipitation
composite.
