Monthly WorldClim 2.1 Precipitation Data Set in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, China (1960-2018)


WorldClim 2.1 monthly precipitation data set (1960-2018) is provided by WorldClim, a high spatial resolution all-weather and climate data database. The precipitation is the cumulative amount of each month, in mm. The time coverage is from 1960 to 2018, with a spatial resolution of about 21 km and a temporal resolution of months. These data were downgraded from CRU-TS-4.03 by the Climate Research Group of the University of East Anglia, and were corrected using WorldClim 2.1. CRU-TS-4.03 is the latest grid climate data set constructed from the monthly observation data of global terrestrial meteorological stations.
