Subject: New Website - Alaska Geospatial Climate Animations

New Website Available
Alaska Geospatial Climate Animations of Monthly Temperature and
Precipitation

The website is available at:
http://instaar.colorado.edu/QGISL/AGCA/

-------------------------------------------
Recent advances in spatial climate modeling make it possible to view
animated monthly maps of Alaska's temperature and precipitation.
Monthly weather station data and other point measurements (1961-1990
Normals) were spatially distributed across Alaska with the PRISM
model, developed at the Spatial Climate Analysis Service, Oregon
State University.

The maps presented here were made from the previously created PRISM
grids using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Separate
animations are available for temperature and precipitation. The
animations reveal patterns in both time and space related to the
seasons, latitude, elevation, coastal effects, rain shadows, and
other environmental parameters in a region of climatic extremes.

Please check out the AGCA website at:

William Manley (University of Colorado)
Christopher Daly (Spatial Climate Analysis Service)

The website and animations are based in part on work supported by the
National Science Foundation, Office of Polar Programs, Arctic System
Science Program (Grant No. OPP-0100120).
