Gridded Monthly Average Temperature for Africa

Gridded average temperature at uniform grid resolution of 0.05° by 0.05° used in Gascoigne et al. (2024).Data from ERA5 climate reanalysis which gives a numerical description of the recent climate, produced by combining models with observations. The underlying data are regridded to a regular lat-lon grid of 0.25 degrees for the reanalysis.Underlying data from: Hersbach, H., Bell, B., Berrisford, P., Biavati, G., Horányi, A., Muñoz Sabater, J., Nicolas, J., Peubey, C., Radu, R., Rozum, I., Schepers, D., Simmons, A., Soci, C., Dee, D., Thépaut, J-N. (2023): ERA5 hourly data on single levels from 1940 to present. Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Climate Data Store (CDS), DOI: 10.24381/cds.adbb2d47
