    • Bias estimation for seven precipitation datasets for the eastern MENA region

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    Information on the spatio-temporal distribution of rainfall is critical for addressing water-related disasters, especially in the Middle East and North Africa's (MENA) arid to semi-arid regions. However, the availability of reliable rainfall datasets for most river basins is limited. In this study, we utilized observations from satellite-based rainfall data, in situ rain gauge observations, and rainfall climatology to determine the most suitable precipitation dataset in the MENA region. This dataset includes the supporting data and graphics for the analysis. The collection includes a spreadsheet containing all the data for the tables and charts, as well as the text file for the in situ data collected and used for the analysis.
