• Inclusion of new Bioclim layers 36 to 40.
• No changes to any other CliMond climate data products.

• Inclusion of new future climate scenario data for 2090 and 2100.
• Adjustments made to temperature data anomalies for cells in the Netherlands and Greenland. CliMond data products affected: all. For more details on the reasons for this change, click here.
• Modification to file naming system to ensure unique file names for all product downloads.

• The general availability version of the CliMond data products as detailed in the following publication:

Kriticos, D.J., Webber, B.L., Leriche, A., Ota, N., Macadam, I., Bathols, J. & Scott, J.K. CliMond: global high resolution historical and future scenario climate surfaces for bioclimatic modelling. Methods in Ecology and Evolution 3: 53-64. DOI: 10.1111/j.2041-210X.2011.00134.x. [Free Download]

• Köppen-Geiger layer for WorldClim 5' data: as an added tool for researchers who are interested in modelling at a finer resolution using the 5’ WorldClim dataset (Version 1.4, release 3), we have generated Köppen-Geiger data for download based on those climate layers and the rules defined in the CliMond manuscript (Kriticos et al., as cited above).
