Data Catalog
============
We refer to the datasets in the Cal-Adapt API as resources. Each resource is represented by a unique endpoint (URL). The following is a list of climate datasets in the Cal-Adapt API. We are actively adding new resources to the API so this list may not reflect the most up to date information.


Climate Variables
-----------------
  * LOCA downscaled climate projections from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego (`Pierce et al, 2014 <http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JHM-D-14-0082.1>`_).

    * Maximum Temperature ``tasmax``, Minimum Temperature ``tasmin``, Precipitation ``precip``
    * Daily and annual averages
