High resolution topoclimate maps over Sweden

Eric Meineri, Kristoffer Hylander

High spatial resolution (50 m grain-size) gridded maps of 10 years period (2000-2010) of monthly means, min and max temperature, and a map of Growing Degree Day. The maps cover all terrestrial ecosystems in Sweden. The dataset accounts for a comprehensive list of topographic and geographic variables that have been identified as forcing-factors for local temperature.

Comments

This temperature dataset is suited to model climate change impacts on biodiversity, especially in regards to prediction of microrefugia. It can be used to derive climate data for any study site when the use of temperature loggers is not possible. The first author, Eric Meineri, can be reached at meineri.eric[at]gmail.com.
