NCEP/CPC Unified Raingauge Dataset
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/21.039

Summary
This dataset contains the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)
Climate Prediction Center (CPC) Unified Raingauge Dataset. This dataset has
been developed by NCEP/CPC from multiple sources of U.S. raingauge data. The
files are compressed using the UNIX "compress" command and "uncompress" must
be used before decoding. This dataset is provided as is and was not quality
controlled by UCAR/JOSS.
