I am working on arid watershed and through my literature review I found MSWEP precipitation dataset(Article MSWEP: 3-hourly 0.25° global gridded precipitation (1979–201...
) a potential candidate to do my drought analysis. My struggling in the method of downloading the data which is requiring download another software and working with command line tool. If you have any experience with this dataset , please leave your comment .
Hi Firas,
First, install wget (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm).
You can try with "Wget". Open your command prompt (as administrator) and try this way
wget -P
e.g. wget https://www.researchgate.net/post/Do_you_have_any_experience_with_downloading_MSWEP_precipitation_dataset -P C:\fodler xyz.
I hope you find the data, but you need to protect any analysis you perform by copy-writing it or even the data if you can. Otherwise you will see the same data analysed in another paper using the same analysis but with different outcomes. At least keep your research confidential until it is published :)
Try to use CHIRPS, it has 5 km spatial resolution and available in Google Earth Engine.
Downscaling precipitation statistically in the arid environment is not easy.
Downloading in bound is possible also when you used google chrome but I am doubting out processing if you are not smart in coding, As Abdelrazek Alnashar recommendation, you can used CHIRPS datasets and use the aggregated approach to downscale to your favorite spatial resolution and use focal statistics approach to smooth the pixels these two tools are found in analyst tools of ArcGIS version X10.
Once you request the data ,the product can be accessed via Google Drive folder. when you right click on the folder you are going to download, the download option is avaiable.
Dear Firas,
As i know, their datasets are conveyed to new host (i think bologna university) so you will have problem to download their data till it is going to complete.
