[NARCCAP-discuss] Question regarding Tasmax and Tasmin

[Julie Winkler]

Hello,

My apologies if this question has been answered before.  On the 
NARCCAP server, we only find Tasmax and Tasmin for four of the RCMs 
(when driven by NCEP).  The RCMs with tasmax and tasmin data are 
CRCM, RCM3, WRFG and HRM3.  Will Tasmax and Tasmin be made available 
for the other two RCMs (MM5i and ECP2)?  If not, would the highest 
and lowest values of the 3-hourly temperatures be a suitable 
substitute, in your opinion?  Obviously, we are evaluating the RCM 
simulations of maximum and minimum temperature, and will need these 
variables for several applications.

Thanks!

Julie
