Description:

The PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University produces data for a suite of climate variables: precipitation, daily temperature minimum/maximum/mean, dewpoint temperature, and vapor pressure deficit minimum/maximum. These data represent a combination of modeled climate dynamics and various observational data sets. Higher resolution (800 meter) is available for a fee.
