The dataset includes eight meteorological variables: precipitation (pre), mean 2-meter air temperature (tmpmean), maximum temperature (tmpmax), minimum temperature (tmpmin), 10-meter wind speed (wind), relative humidity (rhu), surface pressure (pres), and potential evapotranspiration (pet). The data span 1980–2022 with spatial resolutions of 0.1° and 0.01°, and temporal resolutions of annual/monthly/daily. Each file is named asChinaMet_%S_%V_%T.nc”, ‘%S’ represents the data space resolution, ‘%V’ represents the variable name, and ‘%T’ represents the time, e.g., 1982_01_01.
