Yanto., B. Livneh, and B. Rajagopalan, 2017: Development of a gridded meteorological dataset over Java island, Indonesia 1985–2014, Nature Scientific Data, #SDATA-16-00186A.
Prof. Livneh and Rajagopalan developed a gridded daily meteorology dataset consisting of precipitation, minimum and maximum temperature over Java Island, Indonesia at 0.125° x 0.125° (~14 km) resolution spanning 30 years from 1985 – 2014. Importantly, this data set represents a marked improvement from existing gridded data sets over Java, with higher spatial resolution and derived exclusively from ground-based observations unlike existing satellite or reanalysis-based products. The dataset is publicly available and is intended to support watershed-scale and island-scale studies of short and long-term climate, hydrology and ecology.
