Resource Abstract:
- description: This data set provides Daymet Version 3 model output data as gridded estimates of daily weather parameters for
North America and Hawaii: including Canada, Mexico, the United States of America, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. The island areas
of Hawaii and Puerto Rico are available as files separate from the continental land mass. Daymet output variables include
the following parameters: minimum temperature, maximum temperature, precipitation, shortwave radiation, vapor pressure, snow
water equivalent, and day length. The data set covers the period from January 1, 1980 to December 31 of the most recent full
calendar year. Each subsequent year is processed individually at the close of a calendar year. Daymet variables are continuous
surfaces provided as individual files, by variable and year, at a 1-km x 1-km spatial resolution and a daily temporal resolution.
Data are in a Lambert Conformal Conic projection for North America and are distributed in a netCDF file (version 1.6) format
compliant to Climate and Forecast (CF) metadata conventions. https://daymet.ornl.gov/overview.html Reference: Thornton, P.E.,
