I used CFSV2 data, but there are no information regarding the data resolution, so what is the equatorial resolution for the data? i know the glba data is in 1/12 degree, is it the same?

Look in the netCDF files.  The grid is Guassian in latitude but uniform in longitude with Longitude = 1760 (i.e. 360/1760 = 0.2046 degrees).
CFSR is lower resolution (0.3125 degrees).

Dear Alan,

Thank you very much in advance, actually i've tried to calculate the resolution from opening the netcdf file, at first i thought that it doesnt make sense because the resolution is 0.204 i thought i calculated it wrong. but any way thank you very much, and actually i asked the question about the resolution, because i tried to regridding it into 0.25 degree, and then i want to compare the CFSV2 precipitaion data with TRMM 3B42 data, by (TRMM-CFSV2) but somehow, the plot a little bit weird.
