Summary

Abstract Accurate long-term precipitation information is critical for understanding the mechanisms behind how precipitation couples with Earth’s water fluxes, energy balances, and biogeochemical cycles across space–time scales under the changing climate. This study proposes a novel approach [daily total volume controlled merging and disaggregation algorithm (DTVCMDA)] for generating a new long-term precipitation dataset, AERA5-Asia (0.1°, 1-hourly, 1951–2015, Asia; “AERA5” is a combination of the “A” from APHRODITE and the “ERA5” from ERA5-Land), by comprehensively considering the characteristics of the high spatiotemporal resolutions and continuity of the ERA5-Land dataset and the high quality of the APHRODITE dataset. The main conclusions include, but are not limited to, the following: 1
