This dataset contains the monthly mean temperatures recorded at Rothamsted Experimental Station from 1891 to 1990. Each observation represents the mean temperature (variate Temperature) for a specific month and year within this 100-year period. The data are suitable for time series analysis and are expected to exhibit an annual cyclic pattern, making them appropriate for modeling using trigonometric regression methods.
