Monthly Global Grids of Observed Climate 0.5 Degree Resolution, 2001-2100

The TYN SC 2.0 data set comprises monthly grids of modeled climate, for the period 2001-2100, covering the global land surface at 0.5 degree resolution. There are five climatic variables available: cloud cover, diurnal temperature range, precipitation, daily mean temperature, and vapor pressure. There is one control scenario and 20 climate change scenarios, which should be treated as equally likely.

Note: These data sets were produced by Dr. Timothy D. Mitchell when he was at the CRU Tyndall Centre.
