Weather station temperature exposure metadata and exposure bias estimates

Thermometer exposure metadata and monthly estimates of the exposure biases arising from the transition to Stevenson screens at mid-latitude weather stations in an extended version of the CRUTEM5 station database (which starts in 1781; Osborn et al., 2021).

This dataset accompanies Wallis et al. (2024). Please see the attached readme file and Wallis et al. (2024) for further information about the dataset format and its creation.
