These data are the old version of CRUTEM3, which contains a number of errors, principally in Australia, New Zealand and the United States. They are provided for comparison purposes only and will not be updated. The data set has since been corrected and the corrected version is here.
The data are available in two formats: either as a set of compressed plain text files in this data format, or as a set of NetCDF files.

The strengths and weaknesses of variance adjusted data are discussed in the paper describing the dataset; please read this before using the data.
The variance adjusted dataset (CRUTEM3v) is available in the same two formats.
