Hi all,
I was trying to use the bioclim data for temperature which is in . adf format.When I display it in ArcGIS the values are unusual, like -500 to 497 for max, min or mean temperature. Is any one faced this type of problem? Any solution?

Thanks for any suggestion or comments how to use the dataset.

Could it be that the values are multiplied by 100? A common way to deal with floating point data to make it easier to transfer and calculate. By having all integers things are made a bit simpler.

What's the area that the data is about? What kind of temperature range would you expect there? As Hugo indicates, there might be a multiplication by a factor 100 (or 10 perhaps) on the data.

yes it is a multiplication of 10. I found it from the documentation.

Thanks,
