CRUTEM4.2.0.0-2013-03: Climatic Research Unit (CRU) Gridded Dataset of Global Historical Near-Surface Air TEMperature Anomalies Over Land (version 4.2.0.0 Jan. 1850 - Mar. 2013)
Abstract
CRUTEM4 is a gridded dataset of global historical near-surface air temperature anomalies over land.
This specific version is CRUTEM4.2.0.0-2013-03, available for each month from January 1850 to March 2013, on a 5 degree grid.
Hemispheric and global anomaly series are provided.
The dataset is a collaborative product of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia and the Met Office Hadley Centre.
The CRUTEM4 dataset is updated on a monthly basis; these updates are available from the institutions listed below (see Links).
