This data is the lowest monthly temperature data of China, with a spatial resolution of 0.0083333 ° (about 1km) and a time of 1901.1-2021.12. The data format is NETCDF, i.e.. Nc format. The unit of data is 0.1 ℃. This dataset is generated in China through the Delta spatial downscaling scheme based on the global 0.5 ° climate dataset released by CRU and the global high-resolution climate dataset released by WorldClim. In addition, 496 independent meteorological observation point data are used for verification, and the verification results are reliable. This data set covers the main land areas in China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), excluding islands and reefs in the South China Sea. WGS84 is recommended for data coordinate system.

File naming and required software

The dataset belongs to network Common Data Form (NETCDF). It can be processed in the MATLAB, ArcMap, and other softwares supporting the NETCDF.
