It uses a combination of two large individual data sets of station observations collected from the Global Historical Climatology Network version 2 and the Climate Anomaly Monitoring System (GHCN + CAMS), so it can be regularly updated in near real time with plenty of stations and (2) some unique interpolation methods, such as the anomaly interpolation approach with spatially-temporally varying temperature lapse rates derived from the observation-based Reanalysis for topographic adjustment. ongoing https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/images/small/ghcncams.png Monthly mean of surface temperature Monthly Long Term mean of surface temperature theme Variables 2013-02-05 revision eng; USA 1948-01-01 2023-04-01 Fan, Y., and H. van den Dool (2008), A global monthly land surface air temperature analysis for 1948-present, J.
