Short summary
This paper provides the documentation of the REGEN dataset, a global land-based daily observational precipitation dataset from 1950 to 2016 at a gridded resolution of 1° × 1°. REGEN is currently the longest-running global dataset of daily precipitation and is expected to facilitate studies looking at changes and variability in several aspects of daily precipitation distributions, extremes and measures of hydrological intensity.

Short summary
EMO-5 is a European high-resolution, sub-daily, multi-variable, multi-decadal meteorological data set based on quality-controlled observations coming from almost 30,000 stations across Europe, and is produced in near real-time. EMO-5 covers the time period from 1990 to 2019. In this paper we have provided insight into the source data, the applied methods and the quality assessment of EMO-5.

Short summary
The Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) operated by Deutscher Wetterdienst since 1989 provides reliable information on monthly and daily precipitatation since 1901 and 1988, respectively. The information is provided as DOI referenced data sets and we provide herewith an overview and orientation which product is most suitable for a number of archetype use cases. We also provide some illustration on particular use cases. The GPCC data product will be further upgraded and prolongued.
