  Title:

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

  Source_file:

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

  Conventions:

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

  Creation_date:

Fri Nov 1 11:52:30 PDT 2013

  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
