        abstract:  The GPCP Daily analysis is a companion to the GPCP Monthly analysis, and provides globally complete precipitation estimates at a spatial resolution of one degree latitude-longitude and daily time scale from October 1996 to the present. Although derived using both some of the same, but also different, data sets and methods than used in the GPCP Monthly analysis, the GPCP Daily "adds up" to the GPCP Monthly. The GPCP Daily V1.3 analysis is currently computed by the University of Maryland and submitted to NCEI. The routine update of the product takes place two months after the end of the month, once all input data sets become available. The data set is part of World Climate Research Program (WCRP) and GEWEX activities, being part of the array of data sets describing the water and energy cycles of the planet under the auspices of the GEWEX Data and Assessment Panel (GDAP). Details of input data sets and methods can be found in: Huffman, G.J., R.F. Adler, M. Morrissey, D.T. Bolvin, S. Curtis, R. Joyce, B McGavock, J. Susskind, 2001: Global Precipitation at One-Degree Daily Resolution from Multi-Satellite Observations. J. Hydrometeor., 2(1), 36-50.
        purpose:  This dataset provides the basis for analysis of precipitation means and variations from the global scale to regional scales with a daily time resolution and uses both satellite and in situ precipitation observations.

        supplementalInformation:  The GPCP Daily Version 1.3 Combined Precipitation Data Set, covering the period October 1996 through the present (with 2+ months delay). The primary product in the dataset is a combined observation-only dataset in the form of a gridded analysis based on satellite estimates of precipitation and the GPCP Monthly analysis. The data set archive consists of monthly unformatted REAL*4 binary files with ASCII headers, each of which holds 28-31 daily fields. Each file occupies almost 5 MB. The grid on which each field of values is presented is a 1 deg x 1 deg latitude--longitude (Cylindrical Equal Distance) global array of points. It is size 360x180, with X (longitude) incrementing most rapidly West to East from the Prime Meridian, and then Y (latitude) incrementing North to South.

                description:  The GPCP Daily code is made up of around 150 individual code files, which are distributed among 6 modules of code plus another 4 codes to create file listings and perform pre- and post processing diagnostics. The code is run by a single driver code (shell script)in the main directory that mirrors the monthly code (GPCPcdr_ECPd_Process1month.sh) that performs a check that all data is present and then calls each of the constituent parts of the processing code.

            measureDescription:  The Data Stewardship Maturity Matrix (DSMM) is a unified framework that defines criteria for each of nine components based on measurable practices, which can be used to apply a progressive, 6-level rating to an individual dataset, representing stewardship maturity stages rated as Not Assessed or Not Available (Level 0), adHoc (Level 1), minimum (Level 2), intermediate (Level 3), advanced (Level 4), and optimal (Level 5).
            evaluationMethodDescription:  Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment was evaluated by the metadata content editor for the NOAA OneStop project using the Scientific Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment Model Template v4.0.
