High-resolution bioclimate grids for the California Deserts

About

270m resolution grids of temperature seasonality, mean maximum daily temperature of the warmest month, mean minimum daily temperature of the coldest month, annual precipitation, annual Growing Degree Days (5 deg C threshold), and aridity index, for 1981-2010 and 2040-2069. Mid-century projections are downscaled outputs from three different GCMs used in CMIP5: IPSL, FGOALS-G2 and CCSM4.
