Data from additional stations which had temperature and precipitation normals for the 1951-1980 period were also used to provide maximum station density, but these normals were first adjusted to the 1961-1990 period by comparison with nearby stations. TMAX, TMIN, TMEAN, RAIN, SNOW and TOTALP were interpolated using the Thiessen polygon method.

WMS The OpenGIS® Web Map Service Interface Standard (WMS) provides a simple HTTP interface for requesting geo-registered map images from one or more distributed geospatial databases. A WMS request defines the geographic layer(s) and area of interest to be processed. The response to the request is one or more geo-registered map images (returned as JPEG, PNG, etc) that can be displayed in a browser application. The interface also supports the ability to specify whether the returned images should be transparent so that layers from multiple servers can be combined or not. http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/ http://metamapper.com/cgi-bin/2010012920/44181140/wms metamapper.com ca_all_ecozones_v1 2010012920/44181140
