Geodatabase of Mapping compatibility to minimize biodiversity impacts of solar energy development (12/21/11) [NOte: This URL will take you to a web mapping service maintained by the Mojave Desert Ecosystem Project. You will be able to display and explore components of the spatial model, download data and a white paper describing the products, and discover other regional data.

High-resolution bioclimate grids for the California Deserts: 270m resolution grids of temperature seasonality, mean maximum daily temperature of the warmest month, mean minimum daily temperature of the coldest month, annual precipitation, annual Growing Degree Days (5 deg C threshold), and aridity index, for 1981-2010 and 2040-2069. Mid-century projections are downscaled outputs from three different GCMs used in CMIP5: IPSL, FGOALS-G2 and CCSM4.
