Book Description
This document presents information concerning the Alberta Climate Model, whose purpose is to provide a process for detailed description of Alberta climate, both for current use, and as a baseline from which to estimate impacts of changes suggested for future climates. The Model combines long-term records from weather stations with physiographic descriptors of station locations to allow the interpolation and extrapolation of values for climatic variables along gradients. Although built on a base of climatic data collected largely in agricultural environments, the Model facilitates estimation of values for climatic variables in areas poorly represented by climatic stations.--Includes text from document.
