After much interest from students in mapping temperature and precipitation in Canada, the Map Library has acquired the climate dataset from the National Land and Water Information Service.
The Daily 10km Gridded Climate Dataset for Canada 1961-2003 contains gridded point locations of daily maximum temperature (°C), minimum temperature (°C), and precipitation (mm) for the Canadian landmass south of 60° N. The data are georeferenced TIF images, one image for each day of the year.
More information about the dataset is available from the Map Library's data website.
