520.3.#.a: Validation of gridded precipitation products (GPP) increases the users’ confidence and highlights possible improvements in the algorithms to handle complex rain-forming processes. We evaluated the skill of three GGPs (CHIRPS-v2, CHELSA, and TerraClimate) in estimating the rain gauge observations and compared the precipitation trends derived from these products across the East and Southern Africa (ESA) region. We used Taylor diagrams and Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) to assess the accuracy. A modified Mann-Kendal test and a Sen’s slope estimator were utilized to determine the trends’ significance and magnitude, respectively. The three GPPs had varied performance over temporal and altitudinal ranges. The skill of the three GPPs, at a monthly scale, was generally high but showed lower performance at elevations over 1500 masl, especially during the October-November-December (OND) season. The three GPPs performed equally well between the 1001 – 1500 masl elevation range. CHELSA-v2.1 was most accurate at 0-500 masl but had the lowest skill in both 501 – 1000 and above 1500 masl elevations, which caused over-estimation of the annual and seasonal precipitation trends over mountainous terrain and large inland water bodies. The quantified precipitation trends revealed high spatial-temporal variability. Generally, the skill and precipitation trends derived from CHIRPS-v2 and TC data showed substantial convergence except in Tanzania. Our results emphasize the importance of validating climate datasets to avoid error propagation in different models and applications. Moreover, we demonstrate that new or higher-resolution precipitation data are not always accurate since an algorithm update can introduce artifacts or biases.

Resumen
Validation of gridded precipitation products (GPP) increases the users’ confidence and highlights possible improvements in the algorithms to handle complex rain-forming processes. We evaluated the skill of three GGPs (CHIRPS-v2, CHELSA, and TerraClimate) in estimating the rain gauge observations and compared the precipitation trends derived from these products across the East and Southern Africa (ESA) region. We used Taylor diagrams and Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) to assess the accuracy. A modified Mann-Kendal test and a Sen’s slope estimator were utilized to determine the trends’ significance and magnitude, respectively. The three GPPs had varied performance over temporal and altitudinal ranges. The skill of the three GPPs, at a monthly scale, was generally high but showed lower performance at elevations over 1500 masl, especially during the October-November-December (OND) season. The three GPPs performed equally well between the 1001 – 1500 masl elevation range. CHELSA-v2.1 was most accurate at 0-500 masl but had the lowest skill in both 501 – 1000 and above 1500 masl elevations, which caused over-estimation of the annual and seasonal precipitation trends over mountainous terrain and large inland water bodies. The quantified precipitation trends revealed high spatial-temporal variability. Generally, the skill and precipitation trends derived from CHIRPS-v2 and TC data showed substantial convergence except in Tanzania. Our results emphasize the importance of validating climate datasets to avoid error propagation in different models and applications. Moreover, we demonstrate that new or higher-resolution precipitation data are not always accurate since an algorithm update can introduce artifacts or biases.
