Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Continental, Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale, Watershed-Scale
Model domain	Hydrology, Coastal, Climate, Human dimensions
One-line model description	A CSDMS data component for fetching and caching gridMET meteorological data.
Extended model description	The GridMET data component is an API, CLI, and BMI for fetching and caching daily gridMET (http://www.climatologylab.org/gridmet.html) CONUS meteorological data. Variables include: maximum temperature minimum temperature precipitation accumulation GridMET provides BMI-mediated access to gridMET data as a service, allowing it to be coupled with other components that expose a BMI.
