The TYN SC 1.0 data-set comprises 20400 monthly grids of observed climate, for the period 2001-2100, for the European land surface at 10 minute resolution. There are five climatic variables available: cloud cover, daily mean temperature, diurnal temperature range, precipitation, and vapor pressure. There is one control scenario and 16 climate change scenarios, which should be treated as equally likely.
Note: These data sets were produced by Dr. Timothy D. Mitchell when he was at the CRU Tyndall Centre.

The Climate Change Atlas for 80 Forest Tree Species of the Eastern United States contains a tremendous amount of information for 80 tree species in the eastern half of the United States (east of the 100th meridian). Included in the Atlas are distribution maps and tables for different climate change scenarios, life-history and disturbance attributes, ecological attributes, forest type maps and sorted list of species importance values by state/county for different climate change scenarios, and more.
The products presented in the Atlas are derived from results of a modeling effort that involve...

Datasource:
Regional and Global Data
Project:

|
|
The climate surfaces and grids for Canada and North America (Canada plus United States) were produced by applying the thin plate spline smoothing algorithms (ANUSPLIN) developed by Dr. Michael Hutchinson of The Australian National University (http://cres.anu.edu.au/) to Canadian and U.S. climate data. This work is in partnership with Dr. Hutchinson and The National Archive and Data Management Branch of Environment Canada which provided access to data and encouragement in the development of these spatial climate models.

The U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) is a network of climate stations now being deployed as part of a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) initiative. The primary goal of its implementation is to provide future long-term homogeneous observations of temperature and precipitation that can be coupled to past long-term observations for the detection and attribution of present and future climate change. The rationale for USCRN is based on one of the principal conclusions of the 1997 Conference on the World Climate Research Programme -- that the global capacity to observe th...

This database contains three data sets:
(1) TYN CY 1.1 -- This data set provides a summary of the climate of the 20th century for 289 countries and territories (Mitchell et al., 2003). The primary product is the average climate in the recent past (1961-1990), which is supplied for nine climate variables. A secondary product is the set of year-by-year variations over the 20th century (1901-2000), which is supplied for seven climate variables. Each product contains a value for: each calendar month (January-December); each climatic season (March-May, June-August, September-November, December-Feb...

Global Air Temperature and Precipitation: Regridded Monthly and Annual Climatologies

Datasource:
Regional and Global Data
Project:
n/a
|
|
Most of the terrestrial data are for the years between 1920 and 1980 and so this climatology is generally representative of that time period with a bias towards the latter, more data rich years. The number of stations (and oceanic grid nodes) used was 24,941 for air temperature and 26,858 for precipitation.
The data are available for downloading from the Willmott and Collaborator's Global Climate Resource Pages at the University of Delaware
[http://climate.geog.udel.edu/~climate/]. The data are available as compressed ASCII files. There are a total of eight files containing average month...

The EOS-WEBSTER VEMAP2 Transient Dynamics Data Collection contains several data sets which provide historical and future climate variables, and monthly and annual biogeochemical model outputs. The data are provided by the Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project (VEMAP) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The data are gridded monthly time series climate data for the United States at 0.5 x 0.5 degree spatial resolution. Data sets within the collection include monthly historical climate (1895-1993 USA; 1922-1996 Alaska), future climate scenarios (1994-2100 USA; 1997...

PRISM stands for the Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model. It is a an analytical tool that uses point data, a digital elevation model, and other spatial data sets to generate gridded estimates of monthly, yearly, and event-based climatic parameters, such as precipitation, temperature, humidity, snowfall, degree days, dew point, freeze dates, climate extremes, and many more. Continuously updated, this unique analytical tool incorporates point data, a digital elevation model, and expert knowledge of complex climatic extremes, including topography, rain shadows, coastal eff...

Datasource:
Regional and Global Data
Project:
center for sustainability and the global environment (sage)

This dataset represents the quantitative global estimate of the extent of land that is suitable for cultivation based on climate and soil constraints. It further evaluates the sensitivity of suitable croplands to any possible changes in climate, and also the potential shifts in croplands due to possible climate change from increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.
In this study, the investigators combine globally gridded land cover classification data sets with global climate data to derive a new assessment of global cropland suitability. The continuous, globally consistent data set of moder...
