CHELSACanaryClim-climatologies

DOI

CHELSACanaryClim is a high-resolution, terrain-informed downscaling model developed specifically for the Canary Islands. It builds on the CHELSA v1.2 framework and integrates extensive local meteorological station data to refine temperature and precipitation estimates. The model incorporates high-resolution elevation data (down to 5 m), planetary boundary layer height, and ERA-Interim reanalysis inputs to simulate fine-scale climatic variation in mountainous island terrain.

CHELSACanaryClim-climatologies is a very-high resolution climate dataset generated with the CHELSACanaryClim downscaling model. It consists of monthly climatologies of air-temperatures and precipitation.
