Abstract
We created a new global dataset of spatially interpolated monthly climate data at a 1 km2 resolution, including monthly temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, vapor pressure and wind speed. Interpolations utilized MODIS satellite imagery, and instead of using a single model formulation for the entire world, we constructed the final product by selecting the best performing model for each region and variable. Satellite data improved prediction accuracy for temperature variables, particularly in areas with a low station density, but improvements were marginal for other variables, highlighting the importance of dense, high-quality climate station data.
