A description from the metadata: "This dataset shows the predicted rise in temperature between historical (1961-1990) and future (2070-2099) time periods, simulated by the dynamic global vegetation model MC1 underthe Hadley climate change projection and the anthropogenic emissions scenario A2.
Temperature change (in degrees C) was calculated by taking the difference between the simulated future average monthly maximum temperature and the historical average monthly maximum temperature per ~ 8 km pixel.
Background: The dynamic global vegetation model MC1 was run for the North American continent at using historical and future climate projections to simulate vegetation shifts, carbon gains and losses, hydrological flows, and wildfires. This work has not been published yet and should be considered as not peer reviewed.
