Daymet: Monthly Climate Summaries on a 1-km Grid for North America, Version 2

ABSTRACT: This data set provides monthly summary climate data at 1-km x 1-km spatial resolution for four Daymet variables; minimum and maximum temperature, precipitation, and vapor pressure. These single month summary data products are produced for each month for individual years and covers the period of record from 1980 to 2014. The monthly climatological summaries are derived from the much larger data set of daily weather parameters (Thornton et al., 2014), produced on a 1-km x 1-km grid over the conterminous United States, Southern Canada, and Mexico as station data inputs allow (Thornton, et al., 2014). Daymet monthly summary data are available from the ORNL DAAC via two download mechanisms: 1. Search and Order or FTP Browse: Files are in both netCDF version 4.0 format or GeoTIFF file formats. There are a total of 1,680 *.nc4 files and 1,680 .tif files for the four Daymet parameters (prcp, tmax, tmin, and vp) for 35 years (1980 -2014). 2.THREDDS (Thematic Real-time Environmental Data Services) Data Server: Data can be subset spatially and temporally prior to downloading. Subsetting and downloading of files available through THREDDS has a 2-GB file size limitation.
