IMERG Monthly Precipitation Climatology (2001 - 2022)
This data visualization cycles through the monthly precipitation averages (ie, climatology) as calculated from the 2001 to 2022 IMERG data. Both the colorbar and corresponding months are burned into this animation.
This updated monthly precipitation climatology dataset covers January 2001 to December 2022. Coverage now extends all the way to the North and South poles.
Same as above, but without the colorbar burned in.
Same as above, but clean - with no colorbar or dates burned in.
This is the colorbar for the average monthly precipitation rates (ie, climatology) across the globe. The precipitation rates are shown in millimeters per day. Cool colors (ie, blue and green) are areas that receive low amounts of precipitation for a given month. Warmer colors (yellow, orange, and red) receive higher amounts of precipitation for the given month.
