South Pacific precipitation dataset: PACRAIN, TRMM, ERA5 and calibrated precipitation series.

<p>This dataset contains a set of stations located in the South Pacific region, obtained from the PACRAIN (Pacific Rainfall Database).&nbsp;Similarly, the TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission)&nbsp;satellite precipitation series and the ERA5 reanalysis precipitation series have been extracted for the aforementioned stations. For the stations corresponding to IDs &nbsp;NZ75400, NZ82400, NZ84317, NZ99701, SP00646, US14000 and US14690, the &nbsp;following <strong>daily</strong> variables are included:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>TRMM raw</li> <li>ERA5 raw</li> <li>PACRAIN&nbsp;</li> <li>Weather type associated</li> <li>TRMM calibrated (scaling)&nbsp;</li> <li>TRMM calibrated (empirical quantile mapping)&nbsp;</li> <li>TRMM calibrated (scaling conditioned)&nbsp;</li> <li>TRMM calibrated (empirical quantile mapping conditioned)&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>where the last four are a consequence of the application of 4 different calibration methods.&nbsp;A summary of the stations is shown in the following table:</p> <table> <caption>&nbsp;</caption> <tbody> <tr> <td>Station Id</td> <td>Station Name</td> <td>Longitude</td> <td>Latitude</td> <td>Start</td> <td>End</td> <td>% Missing Data</td> <td>Altitude</td> </tr> <tr> <td>NZ75400</td> <td>Kolopelu (Wallis and Futuna)</td> <td>-178.12</td> <td>-14.32</td> <td>1998-01-01</td> <td>2012-01-01</td> <td>9.74</td> <td>36</td> </tr> <tr> <td>NZ82400</td> <td>Alofi (Niue)</td> <td>-163.93</td> <td>-19.07</td> <td>1998-01-01*</td> <td>2010-09-02</td> <td>2.68</td> <td>59</td> </tr> <tr> <td>NZ84317</td> <td>Rarotonga (Cook Islands)</td> <td>-159.8</td> <td>-21.2</td> <td>1999-09-28</td> <td>2012-01-12</td> <td>11.36</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>NZ99701</td> <td>Raoul Island (New Zealand)</td> <td>-177.93</td> <td>-29.23</td> <td>1998-01-01*</td> <td>2012-01-01</td> <td>0.72</td> <td>49</td> </tr> <tr> <td>SP00646</td> <td>Port Vila (Vanuatu)</td> <td>168.3</td> <td>-17.72</td> <td>2000-01-26</td> <td>2013-06-01</td> <td>18.13</td> <td>24</td> </tr> <tr> <td>US14000</td> <td>Aoloau (American Samoa)</td> <td>-170.77</td> <td>-14.3</td> <td>1998-01-01*</td> <td>2019-12-31*</td> <td>21.72</td> <td>408</td> </tr> <tr> <td>US14690</td> <td>Nu&#39;uuli (American Samoa)</td> <td>-170.70</td> <td>-14.32</td> <td>1998-01-01*</td> <td>2019-12-31*</td> <td>0.037</td> <td>3</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p>
