Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project (VEMAP) gridded annual historical and predicted climate data
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The EOS-WEBSTER VEMAP2 Data Collection contains several datasets which provide historical and future climate variables, and monthly and annual biogeochemical model outputs.
Description
Two Tclimate + TScenario Datasets provide annual mean historical and model-predicted climate data from 1895 to 2100 for a subset of the variable available in the monthly dataset. These variables include Tmin, Tmax, Precipitation and Solar Radiation.
A dataset is provided for each GCM climate model scenarios: 1) TClimate + TScenario-CGCM1 - historical climate (1895 - 1993) + Canadian Climate Center (see above) predicted future values (1994 - 2100). Canadian Climate Center -- Model Name: CCCma -CGCM1; Experiment: GHG+A 1; 1% per year compounded increase in equivalent CO2 plus IS92A sulphate aerosols; Ensemble 1.1994-2100. Release: r4. 2) TClimate + TScenario-HadCM2 - historical climate (1895 - 1993) + UKMO/Hadley predicted future values (1994 - 2099) UKMO/Hadley -- Model Name: HadCM2; Experiment: HadCM2GSa1; 1% per year compounded increase in equivalent CO2 plus IS92A sulphate aerosols; Ensemble 1. 1994 - 2099.

Release: r3. Data provided by the Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project (VEMAP) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) are gridded monthly time series climate data for the Conterminous United States at 0.5 x 0.5 degree spatial resolution. Visit the VEMAP2 website for complete information about the VEMAP2 project and datasets.
The VEMAP2 Collection contains the following dataset groups. 1) TClimate - monthly historical climate dataset from 1895 to 1993. Release: r3. 2) TScenario - monthly climate data of possible future values based on different model scenarios. 3) TClimate + TScenario - annual historical climate data + possible future values based on the above different model scenarios. 4) TResults - annual biogeography/biogeochemical model estimates of ecosystem response from 1895 to 2100.
Please see the individual dataset group DIFs, for more detailed information.
