Climate dataset of the baseline period (1976-2005)

\n## **Abstract** \nThe dataset was derived by the Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program from SILO climate datasets. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.\n\n\n## **Attribution** \nGeological and Bioregional Assessment Program\n\n\n## **History** \nThe dataset is produced by Yongqiang Zhang. It includes climate variables like: precipitation, potential evaporation, maximum daily temperature, minimum daily temperature and extreme precipitation (1st percentile). It is based upon work by: Sheffield, J., Goteti, G., Wood, E.F., 2006. Development of a 50-year high-resolution global dataset of meteorological forcings for land surface modeling. J.
