500m gridded historical and future climate surfaces for Risaralda, Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/89765
Abstract
The gridded yearly climate data (5-year moving averages) were developed from weather station observations (from IDEAM and Cenicafe) for the period 1980 to 2010, at 500 m spatial resolution, for monthly precipitation, monthly minimum temperature and maximum temperature, following the method of Hijmans et al. (2005). In areas with low station density and low interpolaton quality, weather observations were complemented…
