Gridded time series of maximum and minimum temperatures for Peru (1964-2014)

This dataset includes 5 km. spatial resolution time series of maximum and minimum temperatures for the entire Peru. The gridded data has been created using the entire temperature series available for Peru, which were subjected to a quality control and homogenization procedure. Gridded data was created by means of a regression-based approach using terrain and topographic variables as inputs. One independent model was created for each month of the series. Residuals were interpolated by means of a IDW procedure. The data was validated using a jackknife approach.
