CRUTEM datasets

CRUTEM is a dataset derived from air temperatures near to the land surface recorded at weather stations across all continents of Earth. It has been developed and maintained by the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) since the early 1980s, with funding provided mostly by the US Department of Energy. Since the early 2000s, the Met Office Hadley Centre (MOHC) have also been involved, especially in the regular updating of the operational version of CRUTEM (current version CRUTEM5) and in the development of the CRUTEM uncertainty model. The lead scientist for most of this work was Professor Phil Jones, but for CRUTEM5 it is Professor Tim Osborn. CRUTEM has been combined with the MOHC's dataset of sea surface temperatures to provide a near-global dataset of temperatures across Earth's surface, called HadCRUT. These datasets have been widely used for assessing anthropogenic climate change.
