The data set covers the period 1901-2012, where the data for 1901-1978 are taken from WFD, and from 1979 onwards from WFDEI.GPCC Data Type: Daily observed atmospheric climate Variables: tavg: Avg. Temperature [K] pr: precipitation (snowfall + rain) [kg m-2 s-1] ET_Ref: Potential reference evapotranspiration rate (Penman–Monteith equations) EW_ref: Potential evaporation rate from water surface ( Penman–Monteith equations) HERE: a dataset from 1/1/1961- 31/12/2010 with each parameter in a single netcdf file.
