Cooperative Extension bulletin : gridded datasets of daily surface meteorological variables

[Weiss, Jeremy Lee - (jlweiss)]

Better Coverage of Arizona's Weather and Climate: Gridded Datasets of Daily Surface Meteorological Variables

In response to an increasing demand for spatially and temporally complete meteorological data as well as the potential constraints of station-based records, the number of gridded daily surface weather datasets is expanding. This bulletin reviews a current suite of these datasets, particularly those that integrate both atmospheric and topographic information in order to better model temperature and precipitation on relatively fine spatial scales, and is intended for readers with knowledge of weather, climate, and geospatial data. In addition to addressing how these datasets are developed and what their spatial domain and resolution, record length, and variables are, this bulletin also summarizes where and how to access these datasets, as well as the general suitability of these datasets for different uses.
