Data supporting the Oregon Breeding Bird Atlas
(see data files for a short introduction.)

File: SQPRISM.TXT

General Description: Contains data from application of the 2000 PRISM model by the Oregon Climate Service, describing monthly extreme temperatures (in Centigrade) and precipitation, by squares.

Although we have made the data from this project accessible to anyone, all the time the authors spent administering this project, as well as time spent computerizing, organizing, and documenting the data, was uncompensated. Moreover, not every limitation of the data has been described. For these reasons, we request that researchers who wish to publish statistical analyses of these data please contact us first to discuss the data and opportunities for joint authorship of resulting publications. Furthermore, we again thank the Oregon Natural Heritage Program and the USEPA for sharing with us some of the non-avian data sets. Contact us at:
