Summary
Abstract: These data sets contain gridded temperature anomalies for three parameters
(mean, minimum, and maximum temperatures) from the GHCN V2 monthly temperature
data sets. GHCN homogeneity adjusted data was the primary source for developing
the gridded fields. In grid boxes without homogeneity adjusted data, GHCN raw
data was used to provide additional coverage when possible. Each ... View entire text
