  skos:definition """The GPCC is hosted and funded by Deutscher Wetterdienst DWD
            (German Weather Service) as a German contribution to the World
            Climate Research Programme. The centre was established in 1988
            on request of WMO as a component of the international Global
            Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) and has various
            international co-operations.
      
            The task of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP)
            is to provide the climate research community with gridded
            datasets of monthly precipitation totals based on observational
            data. The specific GPCC functions are defined by the
            'Implementation and Data Management Plan for the Global
            Precipitation Climatology Project' (WCRP 1990, WMO/TD-No. 367)
            and comprise:
      
      1. Acquisition, collection, and organized storage of precipitation
         data from surface-based networks;
      
      2. Quality-control and assessment of the collected resp. used data,
         correction of errors;
      
      3. Calculation of gridded area-mean monthly precipitation for the
         earth's landsurface;
      
      4. Error assessment for the precipitation totals on the individual
         gridcell;
      
      5. Combination of the gridded monthly precipitation data from
         surface-based and satellite observations (this item is performed
         jointly by all GPCP components).
      
            First steps are taken to derive daily precipitation totals based
            on GTS - SYNOP data.
      
            New GPCC functions have been defined in the framework of the
            Arctic Climate System Study (ACSYS):
      
            1. Development of an Arctic Precipitation Data Archive (APDA)
               including daily precipitation and snow depth data;
      
            2. Calculation of area-mean precipitation series for Arctic river
               basins.
      
            GPCC also performs intercomparison studies for gridded
            precipitation datasets from different sources (surface or
            satellite based observations, model results, climatologies from
            various authors).  Furthermore, the GPCC applies its analysis
            system for special studies, e.g on the Oder River floading in
            July 1997 or the El-Nino precipitation anomalies in winter
            1997/1998.
