HadCRUT: gridded dataset of global historical surface temperature anomalies

HadCRUT is a gridded dataset of global historical surface temperature anomalies, relative to a 1961-1990 reference period.

Data are available for each month since January 1850, on a 5 degree grid.

The gridded data are a blend of the CRUTEM land-surface air temperature dataset and the HadSST sea-surface temperature (SST) dataset. The dataset is presented as an ensemble of 100 dataset realisations that sample the distribution of uncertainty in the global temperature record.
