Abstract
[Vector dataset provides derived average minimum termperature according to a model using point temperature data for the 30-year period of 1981-2010.]
Purpose
This data is intended for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data.

Description
[Process_Description: PRISM ASCII national files were downloaded from http://www.prism.oregonstate.edu/. Using Raster Calculator in the ARCGIS Toolbox - Temperature calculation – First divide by 100 to get degrees Celsius. Use that result in the next calculation and multiply by 9. Use that result in the next calculation and divide by 5. Use that result in the next calculation and add 32. [(degrees Celsius x 9)/5] + 32. A file geodatabase was created for each state. The state boundary was exported for each state and buffered by 8 kilometers. Each temperature raster was extracted by mask, by state. The Raster to Polygon tool was used to create vector polygons from the raster data. The vectors were clipped to the State boundary. A State FIPS field was added and populated for each state. All of the state files were merged together to create a national seamless layer, and re-projected from GCS83 to WGS84. The national file was exported to SDE. See the PRISM web site for more information on the original files http://www.ocs.oregonstate.edu/prism.]
