Tim Osborn Land temperatures CRUTEM. Gridded near-surface air temperatures over land, put together mostly by CRU, led by Phil Jones, with contributions from UK Met Office Hadley Centre. No spatial interpolation to make them complete, though earlier versions had a coarser grid and some infilling between neighbouring boxes so coverage appeared more complete than it […]
