The data were collected and then transformed into a useable and comparable format for analysis.

Figure 3: CRU .50-degree globally-available temperature and precipitation climatologies.
Temperature is in `C, Precipitation is in mm. Colors are arbitrary and represent a range in values.

 
Figure 4: CONABIO .01-degree regionally-available 6-class temperature and 10-class 
  precipitation climatologies. Temperature is in `C, Precipitation is in mm. Colors represent
  a range in values. Numbers in the legend represent midpoints for each range of values.

Figure 5: CONABIO .01-degree regionally-available 15-class temperature and 19-class
precipitation climatologies. Temperature is in `C, Precipitation is in mm. Colors represent
   a range in values.  Numbers in the legend represent midpoints for each range of values.
