The latest version data and update data of APHRODITE are released from "http://aphrodite.st.hirosaki-u.ac.jp". : http://aphrodite.st.hirosaki-u.ac.jp
1. Original station data and their location information are not provided because of our agreements with data providers. 2. We release the gridded product at 0.25-degree and 0.5-degree resolution. 3. As a part of our feedback to data providers, we provide the 0.05-degree product for only the corresponding country/area.
The gridded fields of daily precipitation are defined by interpolating
gauge observations obtained from meteorological stations throughout the region.
Please refer to
