Description:
This dataset is based on the time series data for the NCDC and the FAOCLIM2 combined datasets stations measuring at least 30 years or more. For each month the coefficient of variation for precipitation was calculated. For each month the standard deviation for temperature was calculated. These values were interpolated using spline for each month, a total of 24 layers. The 12 coefficient of variation interpolated layers derived from precip, were combined using the standard Euclidean distance. The 12 standard deviation interpolated layers derived from temp, were combined using the standard euclidean distance. Higher values indicate more variability (higher uncertainty).
