 ## Introduction
 
-Despite the availability of high-quality gridded climatologies (climate maps) for BC and the continental US (the PRISM maps; [Daly et al. (2018)](https://prism.oregonstate.edu/projects/public/alaska/report/ak_final_report_8110.pdf)), seamless high-quality climate maps of North America are not currently available. Existing seamless maps made with a consistent methodology across North America (WorldClim, Daymet, and CHELSA) exhibit unnacceptable artefacts in the complex topography of the western Cordillera. Analysts conducting cross-border studies are faced with the dilemma of introducing boundary artefacts associated with combining high-quality and low-quality products from different jurisdictions, or alternatively foregoing high-quality climate data to achieve cross-border continuity by using a lower-quality product.

 The need for a relatively seamless mosaic of the best available gridded climatologies motivated the development of the ClimateNA mosaic of 1961-1990 normals for North America (@wang2016), which has been widely used for over a decade as part of the ClimateNA downscaling product. During the development of climr, we identified several opportunities to complement the ClimateNA mosaic with an alternative mosaic:
