Daily and Sub-daily Precipitation for the Former USSR
Russian precipitation data
Station map of available stations
This dataset is a compilation of in situ daily and hourly meteorological observations for the former USSR initially obtained within the framework of several joint projects of All-Russian Research Institute for Hydrometeorological Information-World Data Center of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, Obninsk, Russian Federation, and (former) NOAA National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, North Carolina. The data in this archive have been compiled from several sources beginning is 1891, with Russian data available to 2000, but other newly independent states data only to 1991. Homogenization and bias-correction are done only when appropriate metadata and supplementary synoptic information are available.

| Lineage Statement |
The data in this dataset have been compiled from several sources: 1. Raw daily precipitation records obtained from RIHMI-WDC in two swaths: Former USSR stations of International Exchange [223 of them; a subset of this data has been initially distributed by Carbon Dioxide Information Data Center (Razuvaev et al. 1993)] but now is updated to 2001 for the Russian Federation; Former USSR (thereafter, Russia) synoptic stations (totally 2187 stations with the last data records ending in mid 1996); 2. Derivative daily precipitation time series composed from the above but homogenized for wetting bias changes and rain gauge changes using the technique developed by Groisman and Rankova (2001); 3. Sub-daily precipitation accumulations for the 2095 former USSR synoptic stations compiled from several sources but thereafter verified using national data holdings of the Russian Federation (up to 2000) but for other NIS countries mostly up to 1991 (cf., NCDC 2005; Data Set-9290c). |
