Product Information: Time series: Absolute values for past data from HadUK-Grid dataset over UK

Process Title:

Time series: Absolute values for past data from HadUK-Grid dataset over UK

Abstract:

Plot a time series of HadUK-Grid gridded observations over the UK based on observations from weather stations. These data cover each year since observations became available (up to the most recent complete calendar year), and can be averaged monthly, seasonally or annually.

User Guide:

Generates a time series of absolute values of HadUK-Grid gridded observations over the UK. More information about the data can be found on the HadUK-Grid website. These data are based on observations from weather stations, with more details about quality control available on the overview webpage and other method details available on the methods webpage. Results are based on monthly rainfall and temperature, and are available for a choice of variables and range of years (up to the most recent complete calendar year), and can be averaged monthly, seasonally or annually. Note that data are available for the UK, but not Channel Islands. These data are the most recent version of HadUK-Grid only; for previous version, please see the CEDA Archive.
