Generic grids

These grids can be imported into most GIS applications.

30 arc-seconds (~1 km) download by tile
or as global grids:
Min. Temperature --- Max. Temperature --- Mean Temperature --- Precipitation --- Bioclim 1-9 & 10-18 --- Altitude

2.5 arc-minutes resolution
Min. Temperature --- Max. Temperature --- Mean Temperature --- Precipitation --- Bioclim --- Altitude

5 arc-minutes resolution
Min. Temperature --- Max. Temperature --- Mean Temperature --- Precipitation --- Bioclim --- Altitude

10 arc-minutes
Min. Temperature --- Max. Temperature --- Mean Temperature --- Precipitation --- Bioclim --- Altitude

ESRI grids
These grids can be used in ArcMap, ArcInfo ("workstation", with the GRID module) and ArcView (with the Spatial Analyst extension).
