Description
Summary:The CRU JRA V1.1 dataset is a 6-hourly, land surface, gridded time series of ten meteorological variables produced by the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA), and is intended to be used to drive models. The variables are provided on a 0.5 deg latitude x 0.5 deg longitude grid, the grid is near global but excludes Antarctica (this is same as the CRU TS grid, though the set of variables is different) . The data are available at a 6 hourly time-step from January 1901 to December 2017. The dataset is constructed by combining data from the Japanese Reanalysis data (JRA) produced by the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) and adjusted where possible to align with the CRU TS 3.26 data (see the Process section and the ReadMe file for full details). The CRU JRA data consists of the following ten meteorological variables: 2-metre temperature, 2-metre maximum and minimum temperature, total precipitation, specific humidity, downward solar radiation flux, downward long wave radiation ...
