An All-sky 0.01° Daily Surface Air Temperature Product over Beijing (2003-2019)

This dataset is a provincial sub-dataset generated from the all-sky 1 km daily surface air temperature product over mainland China (http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4399453) after resampling and clipping. The raw dataset was developed mainly from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) products and the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) dataset. The sub-dataset has a total data volume of only 264MB after compressed, making data download and understanding easier, and it also presents the characteristics of the raw dataset well. People who are interested in that big dataset can download the provincial sub-dataset first. 

This sub-dataset was validated using ground measurements from 20 meteorological stations, with R² and root mean square error (RMSE) values of 0.987 and 1.295 K, respectively, which proved reliability of this high-resolution dataset. In order to make this big dataset easier to understand and use, we made a provincial sub-dataset with a smaller geographic coverage.
