Central England Temperatures, Manley, 1659-1995

This dataset contains a long time series of temperature for central England. Monthly mean temperatures are available from January 1659, and daily mean temperatures begin in January 1772. Both daily and monthly means are available into 1999.

There are two time series of monthly temperatures: one from the U.K. Meteorological Office and one from Phil Jones at the University of East Anglia. The two series are not identical, but there are only a few significant differences, apparently due to errors in one of the series, but which one is not known.

本数据集收录了英国中部长期的历史温度数据。自1659年1月起，月平均温度数据可供查阅，而日平均温度数据则始于1772年1月。两种平均温度数据均延续至1999年。该数据集包含两项月度温度序列：一项源自英国气象局，另一项由东安格利亚大学的Phil Jones提供。虽然两个序列并不完全相同，但它们之间仅有少数显著差异，这显然是由于其中一个序列存在误差所致，但具体是哪一个尚不明确。
