Abstract:

Recently developed knowledge-based climatological interpolation and ensemble climatologically aided interpolation systems (Newman et al. 2019, 2020a) are used to develop gridded daily, 2 km grid spacing ensemble historical observations across Alaska and the Yukon territory. The ensemble files include daily unadjusted and adjusted precipitation (mm/day), daily mean temperature (degree C), diurnal temperature range (degree C), fraction of precipitation falling as snow, and the wetting loss and wind undercatch correction factors (Newman et al. 2020b). Currently there are only two deterministic daily gridded primarily in situ based observational datasets for this region. This dataset is the novel for the region because it is an ensemble and it contains ensemble estimates of gauge loss corrected precipitation. Additionally, there are limitations with any of the available observation based products, and having another comparison point is useful to the community.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in GDEX citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
