Gridded 5km GHCN-Daily Temperature and Precipitation Dataset, Version 1
nCLIMGRID
The Gridded 5km GHCN-Daily Temperature and Precipitation Dataset (nClimGrid) consists of four climate variables derived from the GHCN-D dataset: maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average temperature and precipitation. Each file provides monthly values in a 5x5 lat/lon grid for the Continental United States. Data is available from 1895 to the present. On an annual basis, approximately one year of "final" nClimGrid will be submitted to replace the initially supplied "preliminary" data for the same time period. Users should be sure to ascertain which level of data is required for their research.

Lineage Statement | Climate grids are derived using the GHCN-Daily dataset. Because of delays related to data collection, files are initially released as "preliminary". At the end of two years, "preliminary" files are reprocessed using all available data to ensure the most complete record is archived and available to users. |
