This is the 1.0.0.2018f version of the HadISDH (Integrated Surface Database Humidity) marine data and the first version to be produced. These data are provided by the Met Office Hadley Centre. This version spans 1/1/1973 to 31/12/2018. The data are monthly gridded (5 degree by 5 degree) fields. Products are available for temperature and six humidity variables: specific humidity (q), relative humidity (RH), dew point temperature (Td), wet bulb temperature (Tw), vapour pressure (e), dew point depression (DPD). Data are provided in NetCDF format. To keep informed about updates, news and announcements follow the HadOBS team on twitter @metofficeHadOBS.

This is the HadISDH marine 1.1.0.2020f version of the Met Office Hadley Centre Integrated Surface Dataset of Humidity (HadISDH). HadISDH-marine s a near-global gridded monthly mean marine surface humidity climate monitoring product. It is created from in situ observations of air temperature and dew point temperature from ships. The observations have been quality controlled and bias-adjusted. Uncertainty estimates for observation issues and gridbox sampling are provided (see data quality statement section below). The data are provided by the Met Office Hadley Centre and this version spans 1/1/1973 to 31/12/2020. The data are monthly gridded (5 degree by 5 degree) fields. Products are available for temperature and six humidity variables: specific humidity (q), relative humidity (RH), dew point temperature (Td), wet bulb temperature (Tw), vapour pressure (e), dew point depression (DPD). This version extends the 1.0.0.2019f version to the end of 2020 and constitutes a minor update to HadISDH due to change in method for calculating gridbox monthly means. All other processing steps for HadISDH remain identical. Users are advised to read the update document in the Docs section for full details.

This is the HadISDH.land 4.4.0.2021f version of the Met Office Hadley Centre Integrated Surface Dataset of Humidity (HadISDH). HadISDH.land is a near-global gridded monthly mean land surface humidity climate monitoring product. It is created from in situ observations of air temperature and dew point temperature from weather stations. The observations have been quality controlled and homogenised. Uncertainty estimates for observation issues and gridbox sampling are provided (see data quality statement section below). The data are provided by the Met Office Hadley Centre and this version spans 1/1/1973 to 31/12/2021. The data are monthly gridded (5 degree by 5 degree) fields. Products are available for temperature and six humidity variables: specific humidity (q), relative humidity (RH), dew point temperature (Td), wet bulb temperature (Tw), vapour pressure (e), dew point depression (DPD). This version extends the previous version to the end of 2021. Users are advised to read the update document in the Docs section for full details on all changes from the previous release. As in previous years, the annual scrape of NOAAs Integrated Surface Dataset for HadISD.3.1.2.202101p, which is the basis of HadISDH.land, has pulled through some historical changes to stations. This, and the additional year of data, results in small changes to station selection. The homogeneity adjustments differ slightly due to sensitivity to the addition and loss of stations, historical changes to stations previously included and the additional 12 months of data.

This version extends the 4.2.0.2019f version to the end of 2020 and constitutes a minor update to HadISDH due to changing some of the code base from IDL and Python 2.7 to Python 3, detecting and fixing a bug in the process, and retrieving the missing April 2015 station data. These have led to small changes in regional and global average values and coverage. All other processing steps for HadISDH remain identical.

This is the 4.2.0.2019f version of the HadISDH (Integrated Surface Database Humidity) land data. These data are provided by the Met Office Hadley Centre. This version spans 1/1/1973 to 31/12/2019. The data are monthly gridded (5 degree by 5 degree) fields. Products are available for temperature and six humidity variables: specific humidity (q), relative humidity (RH), dew point temperature (Td), wet bulb temperature (Tw), vapour pressure (e), dew point depression (DPD). Data are provided in either NetCDF or ASCII format. This version extends the 4.1.0.2018f version to the end of 2019 and constitutes a minor update to HadISDH due to changing some of the code base from IDL to Python 3 and detecting and fixing various bugs in the process. These have led to small changes in regional and global average values and coverage. All other processing steps for HadISDH remain identical. Users are advised to read the update document in the Docs section for full details. As in previous years, the annual scrape of NOAA’s Integrated Surface Dataset for HadISD.3.1.0.2019f, which is the basis of HadISDH.land, has pulled through some historical changes to stations. This, and the additional year of data, results in small changes to station selection. There has been an issue with data for April 2015 whereby it is missing for most of the globe. This will hopefully be resolved by next year’s update. The homogeneity adjustments differ slightly due to sensitivity to the addition and loss of stations, historical changes to stations previously included and the additional 12 months of data.
