These products summarize baseline and projected temperature and precipitation. The animations and maps are focused on the northern portion of Alaska, while the raster data have a much larger spatial extent covering Alaska and Western Canada (YT, BC, AB, SK, and MB). Baseline results for 1961-1990 are derived from Climate Research Unit (CRU) TS 3.1 or TS 3.1.01 data downscaled to 2km grids; results for the other time periods are based on a composite of projections from five Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) General Circulation Models under the A1B and A2 emissions scenarios, downscaled to 2km grids. Climate data are provided courtesy of Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning (SNAP).
