Temperature and precipitation distributions were projected onto the Great Plains region using ArcGIS

- Converted the CDDv2 ASCII file to a point shape file - The grid was converted to an Albers Equal Area grid projection - For each temperature and precipitation, used an ArcGIS function 'pointtogrid' to generate an ArcGIS grid for the entire continental U.S. - Used ArcGIS tool to extract Great Plains region - Applied the National Climate Assessment "temperature" and "precipitation" color templates - Exported to Adobe Illustrator

The duration of this activity was 2 hours.
