HadISDH.marine: gridded global monthly ocean surface humidity data version 1.3.0.2021f
This is the HadISDH.marine 1.3.0.2021f version of the Met Office Hadley Centre Integrated Surface Dataset of Humidity (HadISDH). HadISDH.marine is a near-global gridded monthly mean marine surface humidity climate monitoring product. It is created from in situ observations of air temperature and dew point temperature from ships. The observations have been quality controlled and bias-adjusted. Uncertainty estimates for observation issues and gridbox sampling are provided (see data quality statement section below). The data are provided by the Met Office Hadley Centre and this version spans 1/1/1973 to 31/12/2021.
The data are monthly gridded (5 degree by 5 degree) fields. Products are available for temperature and six humidity variables: specific humidity (q), relative humidity (RH), dew point temperature (Td), wet bulb temperature (Tw), vapour pressure (e), dew point depression (DPD).
This version extends the previous version to the end of 2021. Users are advised to read the update document in the Docs section for full details on all changes from the previous release.
