The Pacific Rain Gage Rainfall Database

The Comprehensive Pacific Rainfall Database includes daily rain gage data from over 250 meteorological stations located on islands and atolls throughout the Pacific basin with records beginning in 1971 and extending up to the present. Included with these station records are data obtained from the Schools of the Pacific Rainfall Climate Experiment. The database includes a metadata file containing information pertaining to local island topography and other site characteristics. The data are constantly updated and are available to interested researchers through the Internet file transfer protocol system.
