CRU TS 3.10 includes variables such as cloud cover, diurnal temperature range, PET, daily mean temperature, monthly average daily minimun/maximum temperature, and vapour pressure for the period 1901-2009. Note that a corrected run of precipitation data, based on the v3.10 precipitation station data are available (e.g cru_ts_3_10_01.1901.2009.pre.dat). CRU provided the BADC with software to generate the CRU datasets in 2010, and this was used to produce CRU TS 3.10 at the BADC in early 2011. CRU TS 3.10 data were produced using the same methodology as for the 3.00 dataset. The main differences is that the 3.10 dataset extends from 1901-2009, and all of the data in this period can now be used. Slight differences may be noticed between the results for a given time/location between the 3.00 and 3.10 versions, due to additional data now being available. CRU have examined the 3.10 dataset in detail and are confident that such differences are not significant. The CRU TS 3.10 data are monthly gridded fields based on monthly observational data, which are calculated from daily or sub-daily data by National Meteorological Services and other external agents. The ASCII and netcdf data files both contain monthly mean values for the various parameters. All CRU TS output files are actual values - NOT anomalies. CRU TS data are available for download to all CEDA users.

CRU provided the BADC with software to generate the CRU datasets in 2010, and this was used to produce CRU TS 3.10 at the BADC in early 2011. In July 2012, systematic errors were discovered in the CRUTS v3.10 process. The effect was, in some cases, to reduce the gridded values for PRE and therefore WET. Values of FRS were found to be unrealistic in some areas due to the algorithms used for synthetic generation. The files (pre, frs and wet) were immediately removed from BADC. The corrected run for precipitation, based on the v3.10 precipitation station data, was generated as a direct replacement and given the version number 3.10.01. There were no corrected runs produced for wet and frs.
