Monthly Mean Temperature Trend (July) 1950-2000 of Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) Region

Digital grid dataset of monthly mean temperature (July) for the period of 1950-2000 of Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) Region. The dataset is derived from WorldClim (http://www.worldclim.org/), and major climate databases compiled by the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN), the FAO, the WMO, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), R-HYdronet. Monthly mean temperature data set consists of 12 raster files, one for each month, showing mean values derived from monthly temperature readings. The data layers were generated through interpolation of average monthly climate data from weather stations on a 30 arc-second resolution grid.
