Summary

Abstract:
Cort Willmott & Kenji Matsuura of the University of Delaware have put data together from a large number of stations, both from the GHCN (Global Historical Climate Network) and, more extensively, from the archive of Legates & Willmott. The result is a monthly climatology of precipitation and air temperature, both at the surface, and a time series, spanning 1950 to 1996, of monthly mean surface air temperatures, and monthly total precipitation. It is land-only in coverage, and complements the COADS data set well. For a complete description of the data as given by the providers and references to relevant papers please see their web pages: climatologies monthly grids NOAAServer Codes: [POL 89.75 -89.75 180 -180] ; nodateline preview obtain Purpose: Scientific research. |
