rpaleoclim: Download Paleoclimate Data from 'PaleoClim'
'PaleoClim' <http://www.paleoclim.org> (Brown et al. 2019,
<doi:10.1038/sdata.2018.254>) is a set of free, high resolution paleoclimate
surfaces covering the whole globe. It includes data on surface temperature,
precipitation and the standard bioclimatic variables commonly used in
ecological modelling, derived from the 'HadCM3' general circulation model and
downscaled to a spatial resolution of up to 2.5 minutes. Simulations are
available for key time periods from the Late Holocene to mid-Pliocene. Data on
current and Last Glacial Maximum climate is derived from 'CHELSA' (Karger et
al. 2017, <doi:10.1038/sdata.2017.122>) and reprocessed by 'PaleoClim' to
match their format; it is available at up to 30 seconds resolution. This
package provides a simple interface for downloading 'PaleoClim' data in R,
with support for caching and filtering retrieved data by period, resolution,
and geographic extent.
