abstract

Average annual temperatures (maximum, minimum or mean) are calculated by adding daily temperature values each year, dividing by the number of days in that year to get an average for that particular year. The average values for each year in a specified period (1961 to 1990) are added together and the final value is calculated by dividing by the number of years in the period (30 years in this case). Similarly, average monthly temperatures are calculated by adding monthly temperature averages (from daily data) and dividing by the number of years in the specified period. Mean temperatures are calculated by adding the daily maximum temperature and the daily minimum temperature, and dividing by two.

Grids are at a resolution of 0.025 degrees.
