Hi Satareh,
The first rule of data processing is to examine the data you wish to
analyze. Specifically, what type of grid is the data on, what are the
units, what type is the data, etc. In this case, the Xie-Arkin test
data (available
here <http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Data/cdf/xieArkin-T42.nc>) has
precipitation in units of mm/day. The ESRL/PSD dataset has units in terms
of monthly total of precipitation in mm. Thus, you will have to convert one
dataset or the other to directly compare them.
