"We do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (quality controlled and homogenised) data." Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia.

"This data set contains gridded mean temperature anomalies from the GHCN V2 monthly temperature data sets. GHCN homogeneity adjusted data was the primary source for developing the gridded fields." Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN).
