Where possible, reference climatologies for each of the periods 1961-1990, 1971-2000 and 1981-2010 are available for each variable. The availability of a variable for a given reference period was dependant on sufficient data for that variable within the reference period. Each regional value is an average of the 5km x 5km grid cell values that fall within it. The data were derived from the Met Office gridded land surface climate observations – long term averages at 5km resolution (See related dataset) and are provided as space delimited text files. The 14 administrative regions used within UKCP09 were: - East Midlands - East of England - East Scotland - London - North East England - North Scotland - North West England - Northern Ireland - South East England - South West England - Wales - West Midlands - West Scotland - Yorkshire & The Humber The 23 river basin regions used within UKCP09 were: - Anglian - Argyll - Clyde - Dee - Forth - Humber - Neagh Bann - North East Scotland - North Eastern Ireland - North Highland - North West England - North Western Ireland - Northumbria - Orkney and Shetland - Severn - Solway - South East England - South West England - Tay - Thames - Tweed - West Highland - Western Wales Met Office author 0370 900 0100 Met Office FitzRoy Road Exeter EX1 3PB enquiries@metoffice.gov.uk author Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) custodian 01235446432 Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell Oxon OX11 0QX United Kingdom support@ceda.ac.uk custodian Met Office data_owner 0370 900 0100 Met Office FitzRoy Road Exeter EX1 3PB enquiries@metoffice.gov.uk owner Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) distributor 01235446432 Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell Oxon OX11 0QX United Kingdom support@ceda.ac.uk distributor Hollis, Dan Unavailable principal_investigator Unavailable principalInvestigator Perry, Matthew Unavailable principal_investigator Unavailable principalInvestigator Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) point_of_contact 01235446432 Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell Oxon OX11 0QX United Kingdom support@ceda.ac.uk pointofContact Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) publisher 01235446432 Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell Oxon OX11 0QX United Kingdom support@ceda.ac.uk publisher notPlanned dataset UKCP09 Met Office DEFRA land surface climate observations atmospheric conditions theme GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 publication otherRestrictions Public data: access to these data is available to both registered and non-registered users. otherRestrictions Under the following licence http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/, appropriate use of these data may fall under any use.
