Precipitation (Hourly) Multi-Network Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/77.114

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/Environmental Modeling Center (NCEP/EMC) hourly
precipitation data, and the precipitation data extracted from the IHOP_2002
Mesonet: Hourly Surface Meteorological Composite). Data from these sources
were quality controlled and merged to form this precipitation composite. In
July 2005 the Oklahoma Climatological Survey reprocessed and updated the
Oklahoma Mesonet surface meteorological data. EOL has not updated the
composite files, however the newer OKMESO data is available.
