SGP97 Surface: Precipitation NCEP/CPC Gage Only Daily Dataset
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/25.020

Summary
The Climate Prediction Center (CPC), a component of the National Centers for
Environmental Prediction (NCEP) acquires gage-based precipitation reports in
near real-time from several thousand sites across the contiguous 48 states of
the USA. There are approximately 5,800 daily rain gage reports per day out of
a total available set of 9,000. These daily precipitation reports are
collected by the 12 River Forecast Centers (RFC) and sent to NCEP. This
dataset contains the NCEP Daily Precipitation Gage Data. This dataset is
provided as is and was not quality controlled by UCAR/JOSS.
