Description

Gridded 1 km land-surface-property dataset for Energy Exascale Earth System Model Land Model (ELM) simulations over North America. Thirty-metre NALCMS land cover is aggregated to the Daymet grid; vegetation classes are cross-walked to ELM plant functional types using mean-temperature-of-the-coldest-month (MTCO) rules. NetCDF includes PFT and land-unit fractions, counts, and MTCO.
