“…Reanalysis datasets can mitigate these problems by providing homogenous and consistent long-term data on regularly spaced temporal and spatial intervals. Most evaluations of ERA5 reanalysis precipitation dataset show high performance in outperforming other reanalysis and satellitebased products (Centella-Artola et al, 2020;Gleixner et al, 2020;Jiao et al, 2021;Malayeri et al, 2021;Nogueira, 2020;Obarein & Lee, 2022;Randriatsara et al, 2022;Wang & Zhao, 2022, and others). This high performance has led to the growing use of the ERA5 dataset in precipitation trend analysis (e.g., Boisvert et al, 2023;Box et al, 2019;Chinita et al, 2021;Yu & Zhong, 2021).…”
