Looking for High-Resolution Raster Precipitation Data for Panama

  • 1.  Looking for High-Resolution Raster Precipitation Data for Panama

    Posted 25 days ago

    Greetings,

    I have a patron who is looking for very-high-resolution raster precipitation data for Panama. They specifically would like the pixels to be 1km by 1km, or ideally 0.5km by 0.5km, because they are comparing it to data with a 0.5km by 0.5 km resolution. Right now, the best we have been able to find is CHIRPS data, which has a 5km by 5km resolution.  Is anyone aware of a source of raster precipitation data (that would cover Panama) with at most a 1km by 1km resolution? Thanks.
