Disaggregating IMERG satellite precipitation over Czech Republic: an innovative approach using hybrid Extreme Gradient Boosting based on Fuzzy Spatial-Temporal Multivariate Clustering
Abstract
1 IntroductionThe data archive provides a reconstructed dataset capturing annual runoff across Europe, partitioned into a grid format and preserved in NetCDFv4 (.nc) format for enhanced geospatial information.1.1 Coordinate system and spatial resolutionEach grid cell in the dataset corresponds to a spatial resolution of 0.009090951 degrees, using the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) as the standard coordinate frame.1.2 Temporal resolutionThe data encapsulates a yearly temporal resolution, offering a comprehensive outlook from 2000-06-01 to 2021-08-01.1.3 UnitsPrecipitation measurements are quantified in millimetres per month (mm/month), providing hydrological data throughout the specified time frame. 1.4 Examplelibrary ( terra )> dr < - rast ( " disaggregated _ imerg _ precipitation . nc " )> drclass : SpatRastersize : 2 7 5 , 7 4 4 , 2 5 5 ( nrow , ncol , nlyr )resolution : 0 . 0 0 9 0 9 0 9 5 1 , 0 . 0 0 9 0 9 0 9 5 1 (x , y )extent : 1 2 . 1 0 0 0 6 , 1 8 . 8 6 3 7 2 , 4 8 . 5 5 4 7 7 , 5 1 . 0 5 4 7 8 ( xmin , xmax , ymin , ymax )coord . ref . : lon / lat WGS 8 4 ( EPSG : 4 3 2 6 )source : disaggregated _ imerg _ precipitation . ncvarname : precip ( Disaggregated IMERG Precipitation ( Hybrid XGB - Fuzzy STMC ))names : precip _ 1 , precip _ 2 , precip _ 3 , precip _ 4 , precip _ 5 , precip _ 6 ,...unit : mm / monthtime ( days ) : 2 0 0 0 -0 6 -0 1 to 2 0 2 1 -0 8 -0 1 ( 2 5 5 steps ) 1.5 CitationThe specific data file, named ’disaggregated imerg precipitation.nc,’ is conveniently structured to facilitate easy handling and interpretation of the information.Please ensure to attribute the correct citation when utilising this dataset, adhering to the subsequent reference: [Singh et al., 2025] 1.6 FundingThis study was funded by the Internal Grant Agency of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences of the Czech University of Life Sciences (Grant No. 2021B0021, 2022B0018 and 2023B0032 to the Corresponding author, Ujjwal Singh).
