  Conventions: Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

  source_file: This product is generated from monthly CRU TS3.21 Mean Temperature observations

  title: derived CRU high resolution (0.5x0.5) Mean Temperature

  Approach: I simply read the monthly surface air temperature from original file, and separated the time series by a month and saved them by each month and each year.

  Temporal resolution: monthly

  General information: This product was derived from CRU v3.21 product.

  Spatial resolution: 0.5x0.5 degree
