Webpage for TerraClimate, a high-resolution global dataset of monthly climate and climatic water balance for global terrestrial surfaces from 1958-2020. TerraClimate provides monthly climate data at ~4-km (1/24th degree) spatial resolution, including primary climate variables (temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure, radiation, wind-speed) and derived water balance variables (evapotranspiration, runoff, soil moisture, drought indices). The dataset uses climatically aided interpolation combining WorldClim climatological normals with time-varying data from CRU Ts4.0 and JRA55. Future climate projections are also available for +2C and +4C scenarios.
