CRU data

High-resolution monthly gridded land datasets (global data on a 0.5x0.5 degree grid) for multiple variables from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) during 1901-2020.

Variables

cld: cloud cover
dtr: diurnal temperature range
frs: frost day frequency
pet: potential evapotranspiration
pre: precipitation
rhm: relative humidity
ssh: sunshine duration
tmp: monthly average daily mean temperature
tmn: monthly average daily minimum temperature
tmx: monthly average daily maximum temperature
vap: vapour pressure
wet: wet day frequency
wnd: wind speed
scPDSI: self-calibrating Palmer Drought Severity Index

Conditions of use

The various datasets on the CRU website are provided for all to use, provided the sources are acknowledged. Acknowledgement should preferably be by citing one or more of the papers referenced. The website of CRU can also be acknowledged if deemed necessary.
