Description

The VEMAP 1: Model Input Database CD-ROM ISO image contains long-term data that were used as input in comparing models during Phase 1 of the Vegetation Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project. Compiled and model-generated data sets of long-term mean climate, soils, vegetation, and climate change scenarios for the conterminous United States. Dates of the data sets range between 1895 and 1996. The data are gridded at 0.5 degree latitude by 0.5 degree longitude.
