Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project (VEMAP) gridded monthly historical 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

The Tclimate Dataset provides monthly mean historical climate data from 1895 to 1993. 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.
