Daymet: Station-Level Inputs and Cross-Validation Result for North America, Version 4

Abstract

This dataset reports the station-level daily weather observation data and the corresponding cross-validation results for three Daymet V4 model parameters: minimum temperature (tmin), maximum temperature (tmax), and daily total precipitation (prcp) across continental North America (including Canada, the United States, and Mexico), Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Each data file contains the daily observations and cross-validation results for one parameter for each modeled region and each year, that is, from 1980 to the current calendar year for stations across continental North America and Hawaii and from 1950 to the current year for Puerto Rico. Also included are corresponding station metadata files listing every surface weather station used in Daymet processing for each parameter, region, and year and containing the station name, station identification, latitude, and longitude.
