GSDM-WBT: Global station-based daily maximum wet-bulb temperature data for 1981-2020

<p>The wet-bulb temperature integrates the temperature and humidity to&nbsp;comprehensively describe the thermal environment and&nbsp;the energy regulation of human bodies. Daily maximum&nbsp;wet-bulb temperature is an important indicator to be used for research on extreme humid heat. GSDM-WBT is a new dataset of&nbsp;global station-based daily maximum wet-bulb temperature, which was produced through calculating&nbsp;wet-bulb temperature,&nbsp;data quality control, infilling missing values and homogenisation based on the HadISD station-based observations and the NCEP-DOE reanalysis data.&nbsp;GSDM-WBT&nbsp;covers the complete daily series of 1834 stations around the world from 1981 to 2020.&nbsp;We provide the NetCDF files of&nbsp;GSDM-WBT for each station&nbsp;and one&nbsp;compressed file containing all data.</p>
