High-resolution one-day probable maximum precipitation dataset across India and its future-projected changes over India.

ABSTRACT: This article presents a high-resolution (0.25° latitude x 0.25° longitude) one-day Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) estimates across India based on the daily precipitation records after climate regime shift in 1970s (1971-2010). In addition to this, possible spatio-temporal changes in the PMP estimates in future towards the end of this century (2071-2100) with respect to its current values are also presented, following two possible emission scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). These maps are developed following the research article entitled "Increase in Probable Maximum Precipitation in a Changing Climate over India", published in Journal of Hydrology by Sarkar and Maity [1] .The recent PMP map for India is developed based on gridded daily observational records of precipitation, procured fro
