  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

  Derived data code: http://redwood.ess.uci.edu/mingquan/www/ILAMB/Download/CODES/CODES/subroutines/convert/convert-tas-cru.ncl
