Baseline analysis representing land cover 2010 and mean climate (climatology) 1950-2010 at 1km spatial resolution for the Volta catchment. All files are ARCASCII grids Geographic Coordinate System WGS84 Datum. Citation is with each file. The Monthly folder contains data for each month of the climatology, the Annual folder contains annual totals or annual mean maps.
