Abstract:This paper describes the construction of a 0.5ox0.5o dailytemperature dataset for the period of 1961--2005 over mainland China for the purpose of climate modelvalidation. The dataset is based on the interpolation from 751 observing stations in China and comprises3 variables: daily mean, minimum, and maximum temperature. The ``anomaly approach" is applied in theinterpolation. The gridded climatology of 1971--2000 is first calculated and then a gridded daily anomalyfor 1961--2005 is added to the climatology to obtain the final dataset. Comparison of the dataset with CRU(Climatic Research Unit) observations at the monthly scale shows general agreement between the two datasets.The differences found can be largely attributed to the introduction of observations at new stations. Thedataset shows similar interannual variability as does CRU data over North China and eastern part of theTibetan Plateau, but with a slightly larger linear trend. The dataset is employed to validate the simulationof three extreme indices based on daily mean, minimum, and maximum temperature by a high-resolution regionalclimate model. Results show that the model reproduces these indices well. The data are available at theNational Climate Center of China Meteorological Administration, and a coarser resolution (1ox1o)version can be accessed via the World Wide Web.
