Salish Sea Bioregion Summer Maximum Temperature Contours
1991-2020 average summer maximum temperature for the Salish Sea Bioregion. Created for the Salish Sea Atlas (wp.wwu.edu/SalishSeaAtlas).
Average summer (June-August) maximum temperature for the Salish Sea Bioregion.
1991-2020 average climate variables were statistically downscaled to 90 meter resolution using the standalone ClimateNA software based on elevations from the Salish Sea Atlas's Digital Elevation Model. The data were converted to raster format for analysis and clipped to the Salish Sea Atlas's bioregional boundary dataset. All processing and analysis was completed using the NAD 83 UTM Zone 10 N coordinate system.
For visualization purposes, raster climate datasets were reclassified into discrete ranges of values, then converted to vector polygons. Simplified attributes were calculated for each polygon.
Gridded raster versions of the data can be downloaded from the Salish Sea Atlas data portal.

Data sources:
Original climate records were downscaled using ClimateNA: Wang T, Hamann A, Spittlehouse D, Carroll C (2016) Locally Downscaled and Spatially Customizable Climate Data for Historical and Future Periods for North America. PLoS ONE 11(6): e0156720. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0156720
ClimateNA downscaled data are derived from gridded climate records from PRISM Climate Group, Oregon State University: Daly, C., Halbleib, M., Smith, J. I., Gibson, W. P., Doggett, M. K., Taylor, G. H., ... & Pasteris, P. P. (2008). Physiographically sensitive mapping of climatological temperature and precipitation across the conterminous United States. International Journal of
Climatology: a Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 28(15), 2031-2064.
Elevation data from the Salish Sea Atlas were used in downscaling temperature data.
