CanGridP mlyV2 provides high-resolution gridded monthly precipitation amounts for Canada, based on homogenized station observations (Wang et al., 2026). This dataset supports climate analysis, trend assessment, and applications such as model validation, downscaling studies, and climate monitoring.
Methodology
This dataset was produced using a gridding method (Abbasnezhadi &amp; Wang, 2024) that applies ordinary kriging separately to: 
•	station climate normals (1961–1990)
•	station climate relative anomalies (expressed as a percentage of the normal) 
The gridded normals and anomalies are then combined to obtain final gridded monthly total precipitation amounts (Wang et al., 2026). Version 2 applies this method to the Canadian Homogenized Monthly Precipitation Version 2 (CanHomP mlyV2) dataset, which includes 425 stations across Canada (Wang et al. 2026). All stations had sufficient data for calculating monthly normals for 1961-1990 and were used for producing the gridded dataset.
CanGridP mlyV2 represents Canada’s precipitation trend reasonably well since 1949, and southern Canada’s trend since 1916, despite changes in data availability over time (Wang et al., 2026).
Source Data: CanHomP mlyV2
CanHomP mlyV2 was developed for climate trend analysis and include long-term monthly total precipitation series for 425 stations across Canada (Wang et al., 2026; Wang et al. 2023). Key improvements in Version 2 over its predecessor, CanHomPmlyV1 (Wang et al., 2023), include:
•	Expanded and improved source datasets, incorporating adjusted data from automated gauge stations and the Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow (CoCoRaHS) network (https://www.cocorahs.org/canada.aspx) for recent decades.
•	Additional quality control procedures to remove false zeros in station data records for data-sparse regions or periods.
•	Enhanced changepoint detection, including tests on both untransformed and log-transformed data, and improved methods for identifying station-joining and variance inhomogeneities.
•	Use of more complete metadata for better accuracy.
•	Improved adjustment procedures to eliminate inhomogeneity by adjusting untransformed data series.
•	Development of homogenized daily precipitation series consistent with corresponding monthly totals (Wang &amp; Feng, 2026).
The key processing steps for both V1 and V2 datasets are available at [https://catalogue.ec.gc.ca/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/1108608d-5a35-4cbd-b3be-20929befddf7]. The homogenization process employs the Quantile-Matching method (Wang et al., 2026; Wang et al., 2023; Wang et al., 2010), which ensures that distribution changes—including variance shifts—at identified changepoints are corrected.
Differences from CanGRD
•	CanGridP: Gridded precipitation amounts on an approximately 10-km EASE grid (grid box area: ~100 km²)
•	CanGRD: Gridded anomalies of precipitation amount on an approximately 50-km EASE grid (grid box area: ~2,500 km²)

Aperçu
CanGridP mlyV2 fournit des quantités mensuelles de précipitations maillées à haute résolution pour le Canada, basées sur des observations homogénéisées de stations (Wang et coll., 2026). Cet ensemble de données prend en charge l'analyse climatique, l'évaluation des tendances et des applications telles que la validation de modèles, les études de réduction et la surveillance climatique.
Méthode
Cet ensemble de données a été produit au moyen d'une méthode de maillage (Abbasnezhadi et Wang, 2024) qui applique séparément un krigeage ordinaire aux éléments suivants : 
•	normales climatiques de la station (1961–1990)
•	anomalies relatives à la station climatique (exprimées en pourcentage de la normale) 
Les valeurs normales et les anomalies maillées sont ensuite combinées pour obtenir les quantités de précipitations totales mensuelles maillées finales (Wang et coll., 2026). La version 2 applique cette méthode à l'ensemble des données mensuelles homogénéisées sur les précipitations canadiennes Version 2 (CanHomP mlyV2), qui comprend 425 stations au Canada (Wang et coll. 2026). Toutes les stations disposaient de données suffisantes pour calculer les valeurs normales mensuelles pour la période de 1961 à 1990 et ont été utilisées pour produire l'ensemble de données maillées.
CanGridP mlyV2 représente relativement bien la tendance des précipitations du Canada depuis 1949, et celle du sud du Canada depuis 1916, malgré les variations dans la disponibilité des données au fil du temps (Wang et coll., 2026).
Données sources : CanHomP mlyV2
CanHomP mlyV2 a été élaboré pour l'analyse des tendances climatiques et comprend des séries de précipitations mensuelles et quotidiennes à long terme pour 425 stations au Canada (Wang et coll., 2026; Wang et coll. 2023). Les principales améliorations apportées à la version 2 par rapport à sa version antérieure, CanHomPmlyV1 (Wang et coll., 2023), comprennent les éléments suivants :
•	ensembles de données sources étendus et améliorés, intégrant des données ajustées provenant de stations hydrométriques automatisées et du réseau Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow (CoCoCoRaHS) (https://www.cocorahs.org/canada.aspx) au cours des dernières décennies;
•	procédures supplémentaires de contrôle de la qualité pour supprimer les faux zéros dans les enregistrements de données des stations pour les régions ou périodes où les données sont limitées;
•	détection améliorée des points de changement, y compris des essais sur les données non transformées et transformées en logarithme, et méthodes améliorées pour identifier les regroupements de stations et les écarts d’inhomogénéités;
•	utilisation de métadonnées plus complètes pour une plus grande précision;
•	procédures d'ajustement améliorées pour éliminer l'inhomogénéité en ajustant les séries de données non transformées;
•	élaboration de séries homogénéisées de précipitations quotidiennes compatibles avec les totaux mensuels correspondants (Wang &amp; Feng, 2026).
Les principales étapes du traitement pour les ensembles de données V1 et V2 sont disponibles à l'adresse [https://catalogue.ec.gc.ca/geonetwork/srv/fre/catalog.search#/metadata/1108608d-5a35-4cbd-b3be-20929befddf7]. Le processus d'homogénéisation fait appel à la méthode de l’algorithme QM (quantile-matching) (Wang et coll., 2026; Wang et coll., 2023; Wang et coll., 2010), qui garantit que les changements de distribution, y compris les écarts, aux points de changement identifiés sont corrigés.
