Title:
Spatial models of historical minimum and maximum temperature at the Pentad (5-day) time step covering North America

Abstract:
We present historical climate spatial models at the pentad (5-day) time step for North America derived from station data obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Centres for Environmental Information (NCDC) “Northam” dataset version “j”.

Purpose:
Grids of pentad minimum and maximum temperature at various resolutions for North America from ~2km to ~10km
