Time series (1901-2014) of 1-km resolution climate grids for Europe and Mediterranean Basin - the EuMedClim dataset

The EuMedClim dataset provides times series (1901-2014) of climate grids at 30 arc second resolution (~ 1 km2) for Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. An ‘anomaly-approach’ was used to combine the spatial information of Worldclim data (Hijmans et al. 2005) and the temporal information of the CRU TS 3.23 dataset (Harris et al. 2014). The EuMedClim dataset comprises 21 parameters: seasonal and annual mean temperature, mean diurnal temperature range, maximum temperature of the warmest month, minimum temperature of the coldest month, seasonal and annual precipitation, precipitation of the wettest and driest months, and yearly mean, minimum and maximum values of monthly potential evapotranspiration (PET) and precipitation minus PET (drought index). The entire data set is available at http://gentree.data.inra.fr/climate together with R scripts for downloading time series at sampling points and producing climate maps.

EuMedClim数据集（EuMedClim dataset）提供了1901-2014年的气候栅格时间序列，分辨率为30弧秒（约1平方千米），覆盖欧洲与地中海盆地。该数据集采用距平法融合了Worldclim数据集（Hijmans等，2005）的空间信息与CRU TS 3.23数据集（Harris等，2014）的时间信息。EuMedClim数据集共包含21项参数：季节与年平均气温、平均气温日较差、最热月最高气温、最冷月最低气温、季节与年降水量、最湿月与最干月降水量，以及月潜在蒸散量（Potential Evapotranspiration，PET）的年平均值、年最小值与年最大值，另有降水量与PET的差值（干旱指数）。完整数据集可通过http://gentree.data.inra.fr/climate获取，同时附带用于在采样点下载时间序列并生成气候地图的R脚本。
