AfSIS Climate Collection: WorldClim, 2013 Release

The Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS) Climate Collection's WorldClim data set contains rasters with the following calculations: time series average for BIO1 temperature as well as time series average and time series Modified Fournier Index (MFI) for BIO12 precipitation. These Africa continent-wide calculations use the temperature and precipitation data for the period 1950-2000 created by WorldClim. The rasters contain interpolated weather station data with a spatial resolution of 1 kilometer, and are updated by AfSIS using data provided by WorldClim at http://www.worldclim.org. The data are available in Geographic Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF) from the Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS).
