Climate dataset: daily 10 km grids

Description

This dataset was received from the National Land and Water Information Service, Agriculture and Agri-Food, Canada.

For current downloadable datasets, please visit: https://climatedata.ca/.

The Daily 10 km Gridded Historial Climate Dataset for Canada 1961-2003 (ANUSPLIN Point Grid) contains gridded point locations of daily maximum temperature (°C), minimum temperature (°C), and precipitation (mm) for the Canadian landmass south of 60°N . Each daily grid contains interpolated point estimates arranged in a regular grid with a spacing of 10 km. Grids were interpolated from daily Environment Canada climate station observations using a thin plate smoothing spline surface fitting method implemented by ANUSPLIN V4.3.

The data are georeferenced TIF images, one image for each day of the year.

Spatial reference and data type

These data sets are available in Geographic Coordinate System, Horizontal Datum: North American Datum (NAD) 83. Map projection name: Albers Conical Equal Area. Other data formats can be accommodated, as the Geospatial Centre has access to a number of conversion utilities.
