Please note that these data are based on climate reanalysis data, plus a spatial interpolation (from one-degree to half-degree), elevation correction and monthly-correction based on gridded observations. As such the WATCH Forcing data are designed for use in modelling (e.g. hydrological modelling) and for where good meteorological observations are not readily available.
Please reference the use of the WATCH forcing data in any work published using http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/2011JHM1369.1
