US, Temperature


Summary

This layer contains the average annual minimum temperature for the US. This raster file was designed for small to medium scale thematic mapping and analysis.

Description

            

The spatial data were obtained from the PRISM Climate Group and are current as of 2010. This dataset is comprised of Monthly 30-year "normal" temperature data covering the conterminous U.S., averaged over the climatological period 1981-2010. This file contains spatially gridded average annual minimum temperature at 4km grid cell resolution. Distribution of the point measurements to the spatial grid was accomplished using the PRISM model, developed and applied by Dr. Christopher Daly of the PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University.
