- Description:
- Climate records for several thousand stations across North America were combined into single data sets for a variety of analyses. ANUSPLIN was used to generate regular grid spatial models. This involved treating station latitude, longitude and elevation as independent variables. Details on this model can be viewed at http://www.glfc.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/landscape/climate_models_e.html. This is the temperature data that was used for the VINCERA project (Vulnerability and Impacts of North American Forests to Climate Change: Ecosystem Responses and Adaptation).
