Dear APHRODITE users,

We are pleased to inform you that APHRODITE-2 project made a new version of product APHRO_MA_V1901 and 
release it at the following site. 
The period is the same with the previous one, V1801R1, namely from 1998 to 2015. 
The major advantage of V1901 is we adjusted the period of the 24-hour accumulation to the universal time (00 - 24 UTC) of the stamped date.

We also release 0.05 degree precipitation daily climatology data that was used to create APHRO_V1901. 
If you joined APHRODITE workshop and if you have executables to make APHRODITE data, then you can choose "ratio" option to make a better (quantified) analysis.

To download and use APHRODITE data, please register (sign-up) so that we can contact you when we will replace and/or update the data. 
At first, please go to Products page:
http://aphrodite.st.hirosaki-u.ac.jp/products.html
and check Readme of the new product.

Unfortunately, APHRODITE-2 project ended in March 2019, and at this moment, we have no funding to continue a new project for a while. 
However, your feedbacks are always more than welcome, so please e-mail us at aphrodite.precinfo@gmail.com, although we may not check/reply e-mails frequently.  
Also, please check FAQ page (http://aphrodite.st.hirosaki-u.ac.jp/faq_en.html).

Thank you very much for your understanding, and we welcome your cooperation in the near future. 

Sincerely,

Akiyo Yatagai
