These data were created by using climatically aided interpolation, combining high-spatial resolution climatological normals from the WorldClim version 1.4 and version 2 datasets, with coarser resolution time varying (i.e. monthly) data from CRU Ts4.0 and JRA-55 to produce a monthly dataset of precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature, wind speed, vapor pressure, and solar radiation. TerraClimate additionally produces monthly surface water balance datasets using a water balance model that incorporates reference evapotranspiration, precipitation, temperature, and interpolated plant extractable soil water capacity. irregular WORLDCLIM global monthly temperature precipitation wind radiation vapor pressure evapotranspiration water balance soil water capacity snow water equivalent runoff theme global place otherRestrictions otherRestrictions The data set is in the public domain as licensed under the Creative Commons Public Domain (CC0) license. grid eng climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere -179.979166667 179.979166667 -89.9791666667 89.9791666667 1953-01-01T08:00:00.000Z 2017-12-31T08:00:00.000Z Northwest Knowledge Network (208) 885-8456 University of Idaho Library 875 Perimeter Drive, MS 2358 Moscow ID 83844-2350 USA info@northwestknowledge.net http://www.northwestknowledge.net The home page for the Northwest Knowledge Network distributor https://www.northwestknowledge.net/data/download.php?uuid=5956e20ceb1bc6513f464d11 download (File size: 72 GB) This file is 72 GB zipped, and will require 772 GB of disk space once unzipped.
