Climate Map Exporter Tool

The RMRS Air, Water, and Aquatic Ecosystem (AWAE) program and the Office of Sustainability and Climate developed the National Forest Climate Change Maps project to provide climate change information at a scale relevant to decision making and to meet the needs of national forest managers. The maps use state-of-the-art science and are available for every national forest in the United States with relevant data coverage.

The Rocky Mountain Research Station and the Office of Sustainability and Climate developed the National Forest Climate Change Maps project to provide climate change information at a scale relevant to decision making and to meet the needs of national forest managers. The maps use state-of-the-art science and are available for every national forest in the United States with relevant data coverage.

You can use this tool to export a map of different climate variables for each Forest Service Region and unit in the country. Detailed metadata on all these datasets can be accessed here. Data and metadata for each of these data layers can also be downloaded from the Raster Data Warehouse. Additionally, the Climate By Forest tool provides charts of historical and projected changes over time, and of the variation between different climate models, for all forests in the contiguous United States.
