We derived updated bioclimatic variables from new projections of baseline and future monthly minimum, mean, and maximum temperature (Tmin, Tmean, Tmax) and mean precipitation (Pmean) data at 250 m resolution. We used observation-based data for the baseline bioclimatic variables from the Rainfall Atlas of Hawai\u2019i. We used the most up-to-date dynamically downscaled future projections based on the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model from the International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). We summarized the monthly data from these two projections into a suite of 19 bioclimatic variables that provide detailed information about annual and seasonal mean climatic conditions specifically for the Hawaiian Islands. These bioclimatic variables are available state-wide for three climate scenarios: baseline climate (1990-2009) and future climate (2080-2099) under RCP 4.5 (IPRC projections only) and RCP 8.5 (both IPRC and NCAR projections). As Hawai\u2019i is characterized by two 6-month seasons, we also provide mean seasonal variables for all scenarios based on the dry (May-October) and wet (November-April) seasonality of Hawaiian climate.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9MF7SG", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.621ec9a3d34ee0c6b389aa03.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_621ec9a3d34ee0c6b389aa03", "keyword": ["Bioclimatic Variables", "Climate Shifts", "Future Scenarios", "Global Circulation Models", "Hawai\u2019i", "Main Hawaiian Islands", "Regional Projections", "USGS:621ec9a3d34ee0c6b389aa03", "biota"], "modified": "2022-06-09T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-159.8160, 18.8490, -154.6680, 22.2690", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Hawaiian Islands bioclimatic variables for baseline and future climate scenarios"}
