The time-period covered in Version 4.01 is from 1900 through 2014. Like most previous versions of our gridded climate data sets, this data set (Version 4.01) provides point estimates of monthly average air temperature ( T, oC) and monthly total precipitation ( P, mm) across Earth’s land surfaces at the nodes of a 0.5 o by 0.5 o grid. Users should note that our gridded estimates are point estimates, even though some users have treated our data as raster (grid-cell-average) data. We note, however, that they have been used for large-scale numerical climate-model validations as well as in economic applications. ![]() Our hope is that they will be helpful in a wide array of applications. Most of the gridded climate fields produced by my colleagues and myself at the University of Delaware were not developed for a specific purpose. They were not corrected to mitigate raingage under-catch bias.
