Gridded Mean Monthly Temperature and Precipitation Data for Alaska, British Columbia, and Yukon
To aid in better understanding the temperature and precipitation data of the spatially variable climate of Alaska and Northwest Canada, this dataset was created via statistical downscaling methods so that hydrologists and other users would have access to gridded estimates (two km resolution) of cumulative precipitation and mean temperature for every month between 1961 and 2009 in Alaska, Yukon Territory, and British Columbia.
