ANUSPLIN

ANUSPLIN Gridded Climate Dataset for Canada (DAILY, MONTHLY)

Description: The ANUSPLIN Gridded Climate Dataset for Canada is a station based interpolated dataset produced using the Australian National University Spline (ANUSPLIN) model. It is produced by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and covers all of Canada. The dataset is available from 1950-2015 at daily timesteps for maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and total precipitation at 10km resolution.
