Summary
|
Abstract:
The EOS-WEBSTER VEMAP2 Data Collection contains several datasets which provide historical and future climate variables, and monthly and annual biogeochemical model outputs. Data provided by the Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project (VEMAP) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) are gridded monthly time series climate data for the Conterminous United States at 0.5 x 0.5 degree spatial resolution. Visit the VEMAP2 website for complete information about the VEMAP2 project and datasets. The VEMAP2 Collection contains the following dataset groups. 1) TClimate - monthly historical climate dataset from 1895 to 1993. Release: r3. 2) TScenario - monthly climate data of possible future values based on different model scenarios. 3) TClimate + TScenario - annual historical climate data + possible future values based on the above different model scenarios. 4) TResults - annual biogeography/biogeochemical model estimates of ecosystem response from 1895 to 2100. Please see the individual dataset group DIFs, for more detailed information. |

Use Constraints
|
Use of the VEMAP dataset is subject to the following guidelines and restrictions: (1) Users may confer with the NCAR VEMAP Data Group to ensure that the intended application of the dataset is consistent with the generation and limitations of the data. (2) To help us identify dataset errors or inconsistencies, we request that users contact the NCAR VEMAP Data Group regarding problems with data files, data access, or the dataset's representation of climate. For problems with data access or file format, please refer to http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/vemap/contacts.html (3) Credit in publications resulting from the use of the VEMAP2 data will be given (a) by citation of VEMAP data set (http://www.eos-webster.sr.unh.edu) and appropriate VEMAP data papers and (b) by acknowledgement of VEMAP sponsors (NASA Earth Science Enterprise, EPRI, and the USDA Forest Service Global Change Program) and the VEMAP Data Group (T. Kittel, D. Schimel, A. Royle, N. Rosenbloom, H. Fisher, S. Aulenbach, and C. Kaufman, NCAR, and C. Daly, Oregon State University) for access to the data. (4) The HADCM2 data may only be used for purposes related to VEMAP or the U. S. National Assessment. For any other purposes, you must get permission directly from David Viner at LINK (d.viner@uea.ac.uk). |
