This is a static historical dataset for global land areas capturing the near-historical risk from extreme precipitation over a 10 year period using established precipitation indices.
The global Extreme Precipitation Historical Risk product captures the recent near-historical
risk of extreme precipitation events across the globe using well-established precipitation indices.
These extreme precipitation products seek to identify areas across the globe where historically observed
extreme precipitation events have occurred, and to capture both the likelihood of precipitation occurring
in an area as well as the intensity of extreme precipitation events relative to the 90th percentile
of precipitation in the area. These products can be used to assess the frequency of extreme precipitation
at different locations.
