Abstract

<p>Daymet is a gridded product that provides daily estimates of weather and climate variables. Coverage is on a 1 km by 1 km grid over North America, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Daymet is a product of the Environmental Sciences Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and it is produced by interpolating and extrapolating surface-based observations. A convenience copy of version 4 is hosted in GDEX.</p>
