Description:
This dataset is an extraction of the mean annual temperature (MAT) 1981-2010 period for the Western Washington connectivity project.

Original data can be found here.

The data were generated using the ClimateNA software. ClimateNA uses data from PRISM and WorldClim for current climate, and downscales data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) database corresponding to the 5th IPCC Assessment Report for future projections. Ensemble projections are average projections from 15 CMIP5 models (CanESM2, ACCESS1.0, IPSL-CM5A-MR, MIROC5, MPI-ESM-LR, CCSM4, HadGEM2-ES, CNRM-CM5, CSIRO Mk 3.6, GFDL-CM3, INM-CM4, MRI-CGCM3, MIROC-ESM, CESM1-CAM5, GISS-E2R) that were chosen to represent all major clusters of similar AOGCMs (Knutti et al 2013, Geophys Res Let 40: 1–6, doi:10.1002/grl.50256). In addition to the ensemble projections, data are also provided from 8 individual AOGCMs which are representative of the larger ensemble and had high validation statistics in their CMIP3 equivalents.
