ABSTRACT: This data set provides monthly summary climate data at 1-km x 1-km spatial resolution for four Daymet variables; minimum and maximum temperature, precipitation, and vapor pressure. These single month summary data products are produced for each month for individual years and covers the period of record from 1980 to 2014. The monthly climatological summaries are derived from the much larger data set of daily weather parameters (Thornton et al., 2014), produced on a 1-km x 1-km grid over the conterminous United States, Southern Canada, and Mexico as station data inputs allow (Thornton, et al., 2014). Daymet monthly summary data are available from the ORNL DAAC via two download mechanisms: 1. Search and Order or FTP Browse: Files are in both netCDF version 4.0 format or GeoTIFF file formats. There are a total of 1,680 *.nc4 files and 1,680 .tif files for the four Daymet parameters (prcp, tmax, tmin, and vp) for 35 years (1980 -2014). 2.THREDDS (Thematic Real-time Environmental Data Services) Data Server: Data can be subset spatially and temporally prior to downloading. Subsetting and downloading of files available through THREDDS has a 2-GB file size limitation.

Using the latest data, state-of-the-art models were used to assess the future trends of indicators of development- and climate-induced challenges.
Updated gridded global climate and impact model data are based on CMIP6 and CMIP5 projections, using a subset of models from the ISIMIP project that have been consistently downscaled and bias-corrected. The data includes various indicators (~30) relating to extremes of precipitation and temperature (e.g. from Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices), hydrological variables including runoff and discharge, heat stress (from wet bulb temperature) events (multiple statistics and durations), and cooling degree days, as well as further indicators relating to air pollution (PM2.5 from the GAINs model), and crop yields and natural habitat land-use change (biodiversity pressure) from the GLOBIOM model.
Indicators were calculated at a spatial resolution of 0.5° (approximately 50km at the equator), and subsequently spatially aggregated to the country level – from which population and land area exposure to the impacts were calculated. This has enabled the country-by-country comparison of national climate impacts and avoided exposure. Impacts were calculated at global mean temperature intervals, i.e. 1.2, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5 °C, compared to a pre-industrial climate.
