Monthly Summaries of Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN)-Daily is a dataset derived from GHCN-Daily. The data are produced by computing simple averages or monthly accumulations of the daily observations. The meteorological elements calculated for the data set include, but are not limited to: monthly maximum and minimum temperature, monthly precipitation (i.e., rainfall and snow water equivalent), snowfall and snow depth. Users of these monthly summaries have access to simple meteorological summaries for tens of thousands of stations worldwide.
Monthly summaries provides monthly averages and extremes of temperature and precipitation (where these elements are observed) using global daily station data. The data are computed using observations from World Meteorological Organization, Cooperative, and CoCoRaHS networks.
