Make sure you're running STEM version 1.2.1 or later. STEM utilizes the Eclipse Update mechanism built into the application to select, download, and install additional features. This enables us to deliver rich new functionality that ordinarily couldn't be made available due to size or other concerns, such as additional denominator data or disease models.

STEM offers the ability for users to selectively 'add-on' new features not bundled with the main STEM download.

Since climate data is rather large, users can install it easily as an Eclipse Add-on feature. STEM also includes a wide variety of global climate data including temperature, precipitation, vegitative index, etc for the same administrative regions available with the distribution. For instructions on how to obtain and build this data please see the topic STEM_Eclipse_Setup#Build_the_STEM_Denominator_Data

The properties files with the raw data used to build these plugins are also available in the development environment. Most of this data is included in the pre-built STEM distributions. STEM comes with a wide variety of denominator data including prebuild plugins that describe the geography, administrative division, transportation systems (including airports and roads), area, and population for the world's 244 countries and dependent areas down to administrative level 2 for most countries (the county level in the United States).
