TerraClimate

TerraClimate provides monthly climate and climatic water balance data during the time period from 1958 to 2024. The dataset covers global land surfaces with spatial resolution of ~4 km (1/24th degree). Variables include maximum temperature, minimum temperature, precipitation, wind speed, runoff, and soil moisture, among others. TerraClimate data can be used in various ecological and hydrological applications, such as species distribution modeling, environment impact analyses, and wildfire activity pattern studies. The climate data is produced using climatically aided interpolation with a combination of a higher spatial resolution dataset (WorldClim) and two long-term higher temporal resolution datasets (CRU Ts4.0 and JRA-55). The climatic water balance data is produced using a water balance model with extractable soil water storage capacity data.

TerraClimate数据集提供了1958年至2024年的月度气候与气候水平衡数据。该数据集覆盖全球陆地区域，空间分辨率约为4千米（1/24度）。其包含的变量包括最高气温、最低气温、降水量、风速、径流以及土壤湿度等。TerraClimate数据可应用于各类生态与水文相关研究场景，例如物种分布建模、环境影响分析以及野火活动格局研究。该气候数据通过气候辅助插值法生成，融合了高空间分辨率数据集WorldClim与两个长期高时间分辨率数据集CRU Ts4.0和JRA-55。气候水平衡数据则基于结合可提取土壤储水容量数据的水平衡模型生成。
