Dekadal (10-day) gridded rainfall from the Climate Hazards Center's CHIRP v3 (satellite-only, no gauge blending — distinct from gauge-blended CHIRPS), 1981-present, 60°S-60°N, 0.05° resolution, as cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs.
Satellite-only Climate Hazards group Infrared Precipitation (CHIRP) V3 is a 40+ year quasi-global rainfall data set. Spanning 60°S-60°N (and all longitudes), starting in 1981 to near-present. Unlike CHIRPS, CHIRP does not blend in gauge station observations — it is derived purely from satellite infrared imagery.
