NCEP/CPC Global CMAP Precipitation Analyses
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/82.803

Summary
A link to the NOAA/CPC ftp archive of CPC Merged Analysis of Precipitation
(CMAP) products. CMAP is a technique which produces pentad and monthly
analyses of global precipitation in which observations from raingauges are
merged with precipitation estimates from several satellite-based algorithms
(infrared and microwave). The analyses are are on a 2.5 x 2.5 degree
latitude/longitude grid and extend back to 1979.
