This is a GeoTIFF version of the SM2RAIN-ASCAT (2007-2021): global daily satellite rainfall from ASCAT soil moisture data set v1.1 (Brocca et al. 2019). Conversion steps are available here. Few important notes: Daily values are stored as integers, whereas in the NetCDF the dataset is rounded to one decimal place. The NetCDF has also a Quality Flag for a better and more informed use of the data (here omitted). P05, P50 and P95 indicate quantiles derived per pixel. Includes also long-term trends (trend.logit.ols) which was produced by fitting regression models to de-seasonalized time-series as explained in this python tutorial. Basically models are fitted for each pixel and the model parameters are saved as images. Monthly averages and s.d. of precipitation are available in the files: clm_precipitation_sm2rain.*_m_10km_s0..0cm_2007..2021_v1.5.tif = monthly precipitation in mm, clm_precipitation_sm2rain.*_sd.10_10km_s0..0cm_2007..2021_v1.5.tif = standard deviation of precipitation in mm * 10 per month (multiplied by 10 so Integers can be used), Downscaled monthly averages (1 km) are also available (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1435912).
