CHELSA (Climatologies at high resolution for the earth’s land surface areas) is a very high resolution (30 arc sec, ~1km) global climate data set currently hosted by the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL. It is build to provide free access to high resolution climate data for research and application, and is constantly updated and refined.
