rainfall maps are consistent with climate records, and that there are no
gross errors. They also compare their rainfall estimates with ground-based radar
estimates.These data are freely, openly, and fully accessible, provided that you are logged into your NASA Earthdata profile (https://urs.earthdata.nasa.gov/).These data are freely, openly, and fully available to use without restrictions, provided that you cite the data according to the recommended citation at https://nsidc.org/about/use_copyright.html.
