Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC)

The Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) is an organization that collects and analyzes worldwide rainfall data. Using measurements from weather stations, satellites, and other sources, it creates detailed maps and records of how much rain falls in different regions over time. This information helps scientists understand climate patterns, monitor droughts or floods, and improve weather forecasting. By providing accurate and comprehensive precipitation data, the GPCC supports research and decision-making related to water resources, agriculture, and climate change on a global scale.
