We are pleased to announce that a new dataset providing historical weather observations has been published in the Climate Data Store (CDS): Global land surface atmospheric variables from 1755 to 2020 from comprehensive in-situ observations
This set of data holdings provides access to data collected from land surface meteorological observations across the globe from 1755 to 2020. Data are available at the observational level and also at daily and monthly aggregations. Data have been collated and harmonised and quality control checks have been performed, but no attempt has been made to assess for potential biases. Data are provided for a range of commonly observed variables.
In addition, work is ongoing to prepare and analyse several hundred sources secured to date and new sources continue to accrue. Documentation on sources secured to date can be found in the inventory information provided in the documentation tab. Users with new sources are invited to upload these via the data deposition service for ingestion and consideration.
For any enquiries regarding this dataset, please contact us.
