UKCP09 (Met Office)
Gridded data sets based on surface observations have been generated for a range of climatic variables and may be downloaded by registered users.
The primary purpose of this data resource is to encourage and facilitate research into climate change impacts and adaptation. The data sets have been created with financial support from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and they are being promoted by the UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) as part of the UK Climate Projections (UKCP09). The UKCP09 report The climate of the UK and recent trends uses these gridded data sets to describe UK climatologies and recent regional trends.
Data availability: All users must pre-register. The terms and conditions under which the data sets may be downloaded depend upon data type.
Charge: Free of charge for research into climate change impacts and adaptation in the UK. They may not be used for commercial or business applications, sold, transferred or sub-licensed to any third party without obtaining an appropriate licence from the Met Office.
