2.1 Gridded Datasets
A total number of 08 datasets were considered for comparison by Kanda et al.
(2019). A brief introduction (data availability, spatial and temporal resolutions)
about the datasets is given in Table 1. The data access links for different datasets
used in the study are as below:
(i) Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multi-Satellite Precipitation
Analysis TMPA) (Huffman et al. 2007): http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov.
(ii) Asian Precipitation Highly-resolved Observational Data Integration towards
Evaluation of Water Resources (APHRODITE) (Yatagai et al. 2012): http://
www.chikyu.ac.jp/precip.
(iii) Average temperature and total precipitation information from University of
Delaware (UDEL) (Willmott and Matsuura 2001): https://www.esrl.noaa.
gov/psd/data/gridded/data.UDel_AirT_Precip.html
(iv) The latest version of the Climate Research Unit Time-Series (CRU-TS) (ver.
4.10) dataset from the University of East Anglia (Mitchell and Jones 2005):

Fig. 1 Study area showing various zones of NWH along with locations of manual observatories
(S1–S23) established by SASE. Observatories S1, S2, S5–S9 belong to LH, S3, S4 and S10 belong
to GH and S11–S23 represent KH climatology
