HadEX3: Global land-surface climate extremes indices v3.0.0 (1901-2018)

HadEX3 is a land-surface dataset of climate extremes indices available on a 1.875 x 1.25 longitude-latitude grid. These 29 indices have been developed by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI). Daily precipitation, as well as maximum and minimum temperature observations, are used to calculate these indices at each station. The daily data, as well as indices, have been supplied, quality controlled and combined to make a gridded set of NetCDF files covering 1901-2018 (inclusive).

Spatial coverage is determined by the number of stations present at each time point as well as the spatial correlation structure between the stations for each index. The spatial coverage is lowest at the beginning of the dataset, rising until around 1960 where it plateaus, and then declines slightly after 2010.

All indices are available as annual quantities, with a subset also available on a monthly basis. A number of the indices use a reference period to determine thresholds. For these, we provide two versions, one set using 1961-1990 and another using the more recent 1981-2010 (these reference periods have been indicated in the file name as either 'ref-6190' or 'ref-8110').

Statement: Data were produced by the project team and supplied for archiving at the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA).

HadEX3 is a dataset of gridded land-surface temperature and precipitation extremes indices and was produced by the Met Office Hadley Centre in collaboration with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes at the University of New South Wales and many data contributors from institutes and organisations around the world. The extremes indices were developed by the former WMO Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) and derived from daily, station-based observations. These have undergone quality control checks and then been blended into a gridded product using an angular distance weighting routine.
