Description
A station observation-based global land monthly mean surface air temperature dataset at 0.5 0.5 latitude-longitude resolution for the period from 1948 to the present . It uses a combination of two large individual data sets of station observations collected from the Global Historical Climatology Network
version 2 and the Climate Anomaly Monitoring System (GHCN + CAMS), so it can
be regularly updated in near real time with plenty of stations and (2) some unique interpolation methods, such as the anomaly interpolation approach with spatially-temporally varying temperature lapse rates derived from the observation-based Reanalysis for topographic adjustment.
