abstract: Provides access to Climate Hazards Center (CHC) datasets including CHIRPS
  v2, CHIRPS v3, CHIRTS-daily, and CHIRTS-ERA5. The 'CHIRPS' data is a quasi-global
  (50°S – 50°N) high-resolution (0.05 arc-degrees) rainfall data set, which incorporates
  satellite imagery and in-situ station data to create gridded rainfall time series
  for trend analysis and seasonal drought monitoring. 'CHIRTS' is a quasi-global (60°S
  – 70°N), high-resolution data set of daily maximum and minimum temperatures. For
  more details on CHC datasets please visit their official home page <https://www.chc.ucsb.edu/data>.
