The global land surface temperature databank contains monthly timescale mean, max, and min temperature for approximately 40,000 stations globally. It was developed as part of the International Surface Temperature Initiative. This is the global repository for all monthly timescale land surface observations from the 1800s to present and uses data deriving from sub-daily, daily, and monthly observations. It brings together data from more than 45 sources and is used in the creation of various integrated global temperature resources, most notably Global Historical Climatology Network Monthly (GHCN-M) v4. Stage 2 Daily data are processed into a standard format from Stage 1 Daily files. Stage 2 data are not homogenized or processed beyond flagging for data provenance and data quality.
Stage 2 data is standardized and well-documented data that can be used by any scientist or researcher for climate research. For the ISTI/Global Surface Temperature Databank, this Stage 2 data will be processed later into Stage 3 data and, ultimately, for use in the Global Historical Climatology Network products.

Stage 2 data for the ISTI/Global Surface Temperature Databank is lightly processed data from the original Stage 1 sources. The processing involves only standardizing the data into a common format, removing extraneous data not used in the ISTI products, and, when necessary, flagged for provenance and potential quality issues.
Stage 1 data is processed into a standard data format (consistent with long-term data use). Extraneous data is removed and, when necessary, data is flagged for provenance and potential quality issues.
Data is only lightly processed to ensure that scientists and researchers have a common, consistent format. Stage 1 data is also available for questions about processing
