[NARCCAP-discuss] DEM for UDel Temperatures

[Michael Rawlins]

Suggest you contact Kenji Matsuura to confirm what he used. You could probably do fine by grabbing the GTOPO5 data set and aggregating to half degree yourself. Matsurra and/or Willmott will likely get back to you soon enough if you inquire with them.

Subject: [NARCCAP-discuss] DEM for UDel Temperatures

At PCIC, we are looking to compare the biases of RCMs in complex terrain to their grid box elevations and to do the same thing for observations but the documentation of UDel temperature refers to a DEM that was used.

http://climate.geog.udel.edu/~climate/html_pages/Global2_Ts_2009/README.global_t_ts_2009.html

It's not quite clear if the DEM used is that described in the Willmott and Matsuura 1995 reference or if a different DEM was used. Does anyone know which DEM was used and where we might be able to access it?
