Title

Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) Grids

Alternative title(s)

d382413

Abstract

The Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) was developed at Oregon State University. It assimilates observations from many meteorological observing networks from all over the United States to produce a high-resolution grid for seven surface parameters that are useful for examining short-term and long-term weather patterns over the U.S. This convenience-copy dataset contains data for the seven parameters at 4 km and 800 meter resolutions.
