Timeseries Results: Precipitation
 
Time series of precipitation are computed as the grid point average of monthly accumulation. The number of grid points within each region is determined by the map projection and the land-sea mask. Grid points over water are not included in the grid point average. The land-sea mask is generated for each model by using the land-sea mask of the CRU dataset. For each model grid point, the nearest CRU grid point is found and the surface type (land or water) of the CRU grid point is assigned to the model grid point.
