Hi Alannie,
Depending on your GIS expertise you could use this:
http://cfcg.forestry.ubc.ca/projects/climate-data/climatebcwna/#ClimateNA
and create those raster layers for North America.
Depending on the resolution you want you could e.g. create a 1km point
grid over NA and use the locations and elevation (from a DEM like here:
http://webmap.ornl.gov/ogcdown/dataset.jsp?ds_id=10003) of those points
as inputs for the desktop version of the ClimateNA tool. Once you get
what you want out of the tool you can create a rasters from those outputs.
Cheers,
Richard

Hi Ecologgers,
I am searching for some raster data that is suitable for use in ESRI ArcGIS,
similar to bioclim data (worldclim.org).
I am looking for mean monthly temperature or mean maximum temperature (by
this I mean the average temperature for each month of the year, so there
would be 12 separate files).
An ideal data set will be averaged across a range of years (something like
1950-2000) and would cover North America or the globe.
I have been searching for quite some time for this data and would appreciate
some suggestions.
I have found a promising data set from the UNEP
(http://geodata.grid.unep.ch/results.php) "Average Monthly Maximum
Temperature," however this data is not projecting correctly and is therefore
unusable.
Thanks in advance!
Alannie
