- Description:
- Climate data used to represent the historical period (1971- 2000) were obtained from the LT71m PRISM 30 arc-second spatial climate dataset for the Conterminous United States (Daly et al., 2008). The PRISM data must be obtained directly from the PRISM group at http://www.prism.oregonstate.edu
The LT71m PRISM dataset is monthly long-term time series consisting of monthly-modeled values for precipitation (rain + melted snow) and maximum, minimum, and mean temperatures. The LT71m dataset uses only station networks that have at least some stations with >= 20 years of observed data. The data were derived using the climatologically-aided interpolation method using the 1971-2000 monthly climatologies (Daly et al., 2008).
All PRISM data used for the historical period were converted from the ESRI ASCII raster format (ESRI, 2014) to the Network Common Data Form (NetCDF; UNIDATA, 2015).
