I provide...

...a limited number of high-quality data-sets.

An important part of my work is to develop climate data-sets. My intention is that these data-sets will then be used by researchers investigating the impacts of climate change. Here I provide access to these data-sets.

There are two groups of climate data-sets, intended for two different groups of researchers:

• country averages, intended for researchers from the social sciences who are working on international scales, comparing one country with another;

• high-resolution grids of monthly climate (observed and future), intended for researchers from the environmental sciences who wish to combine climate data with environmental models.

Alternatively, view all available data-sets in a single table.

Of course, there are other legitimate uses for these data-sets, and researchers are welcome to employ them in any legitimate way.

A more minor data-set is the length of the thermal growing season in Central England. Latest chart (up to 2002).

I do NOT provide...

...any other data-sets.

For observed (historical) climate data, I suggest you try:

• NCDC for daily observations (globe)
• BADC for daily observations (UK)
• CRU for monthly, seasonal, and annual observations
• Hadley Centre for summary statistics of UK climate
• CRU for high-resolution grids of observations (globe)
• Hadley Centre for high-resolution grids of observations (UK)

For scenarios of future climate, I suggest you try:

• IPCC-DDC for climate model data
• LINK for Hadley climate model data
• CCCma for Canadian climate model data
• UK-CIP for UK climate scenarios
