EUSTACE: Global land station daily air temperature measurements with non-climatic discontinuities identified, for 1850-2015

This dataset consists of a global collection of land surface air temperature data from meteorological stations covering the period from 1850-2015. It has been compiled as part of the European Union Horizon 2020 EUSTACE (EU Surface Temperature for All Corners of Earth) project.

The dataset provides daily maximum and minimum temperatures from stations globally, brought together from a number of public databases: Global Historical Climatology Network Daily Temperatures (GHCN-D); European Climate Assessment & Dataset (ECA&D) non-blended; International Surface Temperature Initiative (ISTI); DECADE (Data on Climate and Extreme weather for the Central Andes); and ERA-CLIM (European Reanalysis of Global Climate Observations). These data have then been quality controlled through the removal of duplicates and unreliable data sources, and come with a large amount of additional information on quality, homogeneity and resolution.

This data is available for non-commercial use.

Statement

Data have been produced and archived for the EU EUSTACE project, which has received funding by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no 640171.

This dataset is built on data from the following data collections:

Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN)-Daily, European Climate Assessment & Dataset (ECA&D), International Surface Temperature Initiative (ISTI), the DECADE datasets for the Central Plateau in South America, and surface observations digitised during the ERA-CLIM project. (See the documentation section for references)

The following data providers also contributed to the full EUSTACE product, but data could not be redistributed due to licensing: Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN); Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI); University of Bern
