Downscaled 20CRv2c (#37) gridded historical climate data over China (1851-2010)

<strong>Gridded historical climate </strong><strong>data over China, spanning 1851 to 2010. Dynamically downscaled to 25km resolution using the PRECIS2.0 (HadRM3P) Met Office regional climate model, driven by 20th century reanalysis (20CRv2c, NOAA/ESRL PSD 20th Century Reanalysis version 2c, ensemble member 37).</strong> This data has been un-rotated to true latitude longitude coordinates from its original rotate pole frame of reference. For more information on the PRECIS regional climate model, visit www.metoffice.gov.uk/precis. Data near the boundaries should be used with caution due to model configuration aspects of regional climate modelling, and the interpolation method applied. <strong>Domain</strong>: 17N to 58.84N, 73E to 135.7E <strong>Countries covered</strong>: China, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Kyrgzstan, and northern parts of India, Myanmar, Lao PDR &amp; Vietnam. <strong>Variables</strong>: pr (mean precipitation flux), tm (mean surface temperature), tn (minimum surface temperature) &amp; tx (maximum surface temperature) <strong>Time averaging</strong>: monthly <em>This data set supplements the equivalent downscaled ERA-Interim data set: Downscaled ERA-Interim gridded historical climate data over China (1980-2010) doi: 10.5281/zenodo.2600192</em>
