Willmott and Rowe have created a terrestrial water budget
data archive on a 1-degree grid. They identified 13332 global
stations with complete records and created 30-year (1950-1979)
climatological means for each month of the year for air
temperature, precipitation, evaporation, soil moisture, and
snow cover. These monthly climatological means were then
interpolated to the 1-degree gridpoints. This data set contains
the 1-degree gridpoint data and the individual station data.
DSS has created a
GRIB
version of the gridpoint data for users who prefer the GRIB
format.
