Downscaled climate data

The Scenarios Network for Alaska + Arctic Planning (SNAP) produces downscaled, historical and projected climate data for sub-Arctic and Arctic regions of Alaska and Canada.

Downscaled projected data come from one of 5 top ranked global circulation models or are calculated as a 5-model average.
Climate datasets include daily, monthly, and derived products (e.g., monthly decadal averages, specific seasonal averages).
