CRU Monthly Average Climate Time Series (1901 - 2014): Mapped climate data with global extent at 30 arcminute resolution

A time series of monthly average climate maps from 1901 - 2014 which describe mean maximum temperature, mean minimum temperature and total precipitation. Data are mapped at 30 arcminute resolution (0.5 degree) and cover the entire extent of the globe. These maps were originally created by the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia
