UKGrsHP: a UK high-resolution gauge-radar-satellite merged hourly precipitation analysis dataset.

ABSTRACT: There is an urgent need for high-quality and high-spatial-resolution hourly precipitation products around the globe, including the UK. Although hourly precipitation products exist for the UK, these either contain large errors, or are insufficient in spatial resolution. An efficient way to solve this is to develop a merged precipitation product that combines the information and benefits from multiple data sources, improving both the spatial resolution and accuracy of hourly precipitation estimates over the UK. In this study, we develop a UK high-resolution gauge-radar-satellite merged hourly precipitation analysis: the UKGrsHP. It covers the UK from 12.5° W to  3.5° E, 49° N-60° N, with a spatial resolution of 0.01° × 0.01° in latitude/longitude (equivalent to 1 km resolution in the mid-lat
