Found 10 records similar to Canadian Blended Precipitation version 0 CanBPv0
This dataset contains blended (gauge and satellite estimates) pentad mean precipitation rates (unit: mm/day) at a one degree spatial resolution over Canada. The data can be used for hydrometeorological, agricultural, forestry modelling, for numerical weather model and climate model verification, and for climate impact studies.
The Blended Index (BI) is a model which employs multiple potential indicators of drought and excess moisture, such as the Palmer drought index, rolling precipitation amounts and soil moisture, and combines them into a weighted, normalized value between 0 and 100. The inputs and weights used in this model are subject to change periodically as it is optimized to best represent extent, duration and severity of impactful weather conditions. The blended index is deployed as two variations; short term (st) focusing on 1 to 3 months, and long term (lt) focusing on 6 months to 5 years.

The Regional Deterministic Precipitation Analysis (RDPA) produces a best estimate of precipitation amounts that occurred over a period of 6 hours. The estimate integrates data from in situ precipitation gauge measurements, weather radar, satellite imagery and numerical weather prediction models. Geographic coverage is North America (Canada, United States and Mexico). Data is available at a horizontal resolution of 10 km.
The Regional Deterministic Precipitation Analysis (RDPA) produces a best estimate of precipitation amounts that occurred over a period of 24 hours. The estimate integrates data from in situ precipitation gauge measurements, weather radar, satellite imagery and numerical weather prediction models. Geographic coverage is North America (Canada, United States and Mexico). Data is available at a horizontal resolution of 10 km.
The Regional Deterministic Precipitation Analysis (RDPA) produces a best estimate of the amount of precipitation that occurred over recent past periods of 6 or 24 hours. The estimate integrates data from in situ precipitation gauge measurements, weather radar, satellite imagery and numerical weather prediction models. Geographic coverage is North America (Canada, United States and Mexico). Data is available at horizontal resolution of 10 km.
The Duck Lake (Saskatchewan) Geolysimeter precipitation intercomparison data are from a co-located precipitation gauge and deep groundwater observation well. The data published here are event based intercomparisons, collected between 2010 and 2016, binned into rain and snow events. Snowfall data observed by the precipitation gauge have been adjusted for wind bias using the SPICE (Solid Precipitation InterComparison Experiment) transfer functions (Kochendorfer et al., 2017a) and included for intercomparison. The data is described by Smith et al.
Established for the purpose of Departmental reporting to the Treasury Board Secretariat, the Public Perception Index is a blended average score of four indicators, from three target audiences (individuals, small and medium businesses, and tax intermediaries).
The application of different commercial fertilizer products including use of common or custom blends on field crop, forage crop and fruit, vegetable, berry, and nut agricultural operations and separated by province, available every 5 years.
This dataset is part of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) project and contains the total monthly precipitation quantity in millimeters collected on the roof of the National Hydrology Research Centre in Saskatoon, SK and its stable oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δ2H) isotope ratios data from June 1990 to January 2020. Up until 2013, a MSC copper rain gauge, modified to hold a HDPE bottle containing a thin layer of paraffin oil to prevent evaporation collected the summer precipitation. Summer precipitation collection from 2013 onward used a Palmex integrator. A plastic 20 L bucket emptied after each snow event collected the winter precipitation until 2015 when we switched to a MSC Nipher shielded snow gauge.
