Project Description The goal of this GIS project is to produce distribution maps of average maximum daily temperature achieved for 3, 4, and 5 consecutive days in the San Joaquin Valley to be used for mitigation decisions. More info... Mapping Climate Thresholds The source data consisted of signed 16-bit raster (gridded) data of daily maximum temperature for the State of California. The raster data was interpolated from specific point data by ZedX, Inc. using their proprietary methods. The dates of the data ranged from 1 January 1992 through 29 April 2002, inclusive. More Info... Providing CIMIS Data The layers for the map are served dynamically by Microsoft SQL Server based on the user's interactions with the map. The previous five days of CIMIS temperature data are downloaded automatically... More info...
