Abstract

The activities of the APHRODITE project, including outreach programs, have had many important benefits. Investigations of future changes in monsoon and/or extreme events and assessments of historical/future changes in hydrological flow rely on accurate long-term daily gridded observation data of precipitation. The APHRODITE project has made such data available and has substantially improved precipitation estimates throughout Asia.
