SM2RAIN-ASCAT (2007-2021) global daily satellite rainfall including aggregated values and trend parameters as 10km resolution GeoTIFFs

<p>This is a GeoTIFF version of the <a href="http://hydrology.irpi.cnr.it/download-area/sm2rain-data-sets/">SM2RAIN-ASCAT (2007-2021): global daily satellite rainfall from ASCAT soil moisture</a> data set v1.1 (Brocca et al. 2019). Conversion steps are available <a href="https://github.com/Envirometrix/LandGISmaps/tree/master/input_layers/SM2RAIN"><strong>here</strong></a>. Few important notes:</p> <ul> <li>Daily values are stored as integers, whereas in the NetCDF the dataset is rounded to one decimal place.</li> <li>The NetCDF has also a Quality Flag for a better and more informed use of the data (here omitted).</li> <li>P05, P50 and P95 indicate quantiles derived per pixel.</li> </ul> <p>Includes also long-term trends (trend.logit.ols) which was produced by fitting regression models to de-seasonalized time-series as explained in this <strong><a href="https://gitlab.com/openlandmap/global-layers/-/blob/master/input_layers/MOD13Q1/03-data-access.ipynb">python tutorial</a></strong>. Basically models are fitted for <strong>each pixel</strong> and the model parameters are saved as images.</p> <p>Monthly averages and s.d. of precipitation are available in the files:</p> <ul> <li>clm_precipitation_sm2rain.*_m_10km_s0..0cm_2007..2021_v1.5.tif = monthly precipitation in mm,</li> <li>clm_precipitation_sm2rain.*_sd.10_10km_s0..0cm_2007..2021_v1.5.tif = standard deviation of precipitation in mm * 10 per month (multiplied by 10 so Integers can be used),</li> </ul> <p>Downscaled monthly averages (1 km) are also available (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1435912">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1435912</a>).</p> <p>To cite this data set please refer to the <strong><a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2591214">original copy</a></strong> of the data set.</p> <ul> <li>Brocca, L., Filippucci, P., Hahn, S., Ciabatta, L., Massari, C., Camici, S., Sch&uuml;ller, L., Bojkov, B., Wagner, W.
