Hi Julie!
Tasmax and Tasmin for MM5i and ECP2 will be available soon. They are
currently being post-processed.
If you need these data right away, your plan to take highest and
lowest values of the 3-hourly temperatures is suitable as an estimate.
Seeing as the final product is taken from the actual max and min from
model timesteps instead of 3-hourly, we would recommend using Tasmax
and Tasmin as soon as they are available.
Thanks for your question!

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!
