The gridded Climatic Research Unit (CRU) Time-series (TS) data version 4.06 data are month-by-month variations in climate over the period 1901-2021, provided on high-resolution (0.5x0.5 degree) grids, produced by CRU at the University of East Anglia and funded by the UK National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS), a NERC collaborative centre.
The CRU TS4.06 variables are cloud cover, diurnal temperature range, frost day frequency, wet day frequency, potential evapotranspiration (PET), precipitation, daily mean temperature, monthly average daily maximum and minimum temperature, and vapour pressure for the period January 1901 - December 2021.
The CRU TS4.06 data were produced using angular-distance weighting (ADW) interpolation. All versions prior to 4.00 used triangulation routines in IDL. Please see the release notes for full details of this version update.
The CRU TS4.06 data are monthly gridded fields based on monthly observational data calculated from daily or sub-daily data by National Meteorological Services and other external agents. The ASCII and NetCDF data files both contain monthly mean values for the various parameters. The NetCDF versions contain an additional integer variable, ’stn’, which provides, for each datum in the main variable, a count (between 0 and 8) of the number of stations used in that interpolation. The missing value code for 'stn' is -999.
All CRU TS output files are actual values - NOT anomalies.

The CRU TS data are produced by the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia and are passed to the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) for long-term archival and distribution. Previous releases of the CRU TS data include:
CRU TS 4.06 was provided to CEDA for archival in May 2022.
CRU TS 4.05 was provided to CEDA for archival in June 2021.
CRU TS 4.04 was provided to CEDA for archival in April 2020.
CRU TS 4.03 was provided to CEDA for archival in May 2019.
CRU TS 4.02 was provided to CEDA for archival in December 2018.
CRU TS 4.01 was provided to CEDA for archival in September 2017.
CRU TS 4.00 was provided to CEDA for archival in March 2017.
CRU TS 3.24.01 was provided to CEDA for archival in January 2017. This is the latest version available and is a replacement for the withdrawn dataset 3.24, it supersedes all previous data versions (which are available to allow user comparisons)
CRU TS 3.24 was provided to CEDA for archival in July 2016. This is the latest version available, superseding all previous data versions (which are available to allow user comparisons), v3.24 has been withdrawn.
CRU TS 3.23 was provided to CEDA in October 2015 by CRU. This is the latest version available, superseding all previous data versions (which are available to allow user comparisons).
CRU TS 3.22 was provided to CEDA for archival in July 2014 by CRU.
CRU TS 3.21 was provided to CEDA for archival in July 2013 by CRU.
CRU TS 3.20 was produced in December 2012.
In March 2013, CRU TS observation databases for TMP and PRE variables were provided by CRU. Others are in preparation. In July 2013, two errors were found in the PRE and WET variables of CRU TS v3.20. These have been repaired in CRU TS v3.21. Details of the errors found are available in the Release Notes in the archive.
CRU TS 3.10.01 In July 2012, systematic errors were discovered in the CRUTS v3.10 process. The effect was, in some cases, to reduce the gridded values for PRE and therefore WET. Values of FRS were found to be unrealistic in some areas due to the algorithms used for synthetic generation. The files (pre, frs and wet) were immediately removed from BADC. The corrected run for precipitation, based on the v3.10 precipitation station data, was generated as a direct replacement and given the version number 3.10.01. There were no corrected runs produced for wet and frs.
CRU TS 3.00 data files acquired directly from CRU in 2007. CRU provided the BADC with software to generate the CRU datasets in 2010, and this was used to produce CRU TS 3.10 at the BADC in early 2011.
