Abstract:

The 30-year Average Monthly/1-km Climate Variables Dataset of China (1951-1980, 1981-2010) was developed using thin plate smoothing spline technique and ANUSPLIN (4.4) tool based on 30-year average meteorological records of national weather stations in China from 1951-1980 and from 1980-2010, re-spectively. The three climatic variables are temperature, precipitation and percentage of sunshine. The error statistics of both station data and interpolated data were performed using the Generalized Cross Validation (GCV), mean absolute errors (MAE) and root mean squared errors (RMSE), as well as the linear regression between the observed and interpolated data. The dataset is archived in .asc, .grd and .tif data formats, and consists of 216 data files with data size of 29.7 GB (Compressed into 8 files with 3.35 GB).Browse
