HadISDH marine: gridded global monthly ocean surface humidity data version 1.0.0.2019f
This is the 1.0.0.2019f version of the HadISDH (Integrated Surface Database Humidity) marine data. These data are provided by the Met Office Hadley Centre. This version spans 1/1/1973 to 31/12/2019.
The data are monthly gridded (5 degree by 5 degree) fields. Products are available for temperature and six humidity variables: specific humidity (q), relative humidity (RH), dew point temperature (Td), wet bulb temperature (Tw), vapour pressure (e), dew point depression (DPD). Data are provided in either NetCDF or ASCII format.
This version extends the 1.0.0.2018f version to the end of 2019 and constitutes with no changes other than the addition of 2019 data. Users are advised to read the update document in the Docs section for full details.
