Hello,
I am trying to use the climate data of the CRU database (Precipitation).
https://crudata.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/precip/
The data is available as a file ".dat" format : exemple :
5 Degreee Gridded Data Set : g55wld0098.dat.gz (binary)
My question how to display them as a map (raster .tif) in R or with other softwares
thank you in advance
In addition to the approach suggested by Marcus, you may also use following command in R or RStudio to read .dat file:
> read.table("~your_file_path")
Then, use plot() command to plot data from a dat file in R. Following links may be helpful for you.

Alternatively, you may also use ENVI software which has a native support of displaying .dat files and converting them to .TIFF files.
Hope this helps you.
