This resource is published by Fick et al. (2017) "WorldClim 2: new 1-km spatial resolution climate surfaces for global land areas" and represents multiple climatic variables from which we will be requiring minimum temperature, maximum temperature, and mean precipitation layers. The layers are available to download for the period 1960 - 2021 on monthly basis from WorldClim.

Usage

get_worldclim_precipitation(
  years = 1960:2021,
  resolution = c("2.5m", "5m", "10m")
)

Arguments

years

A numeric vector indicating for which years to make the resource available.

resolution

A character vector indicating the desired resolution.

Value

A function that returns an sf footprint object.

Details

This resource represents the average precipitation, layers available to download for the period 1960 - 2021 on monthly basis from WorldClim. Encoded as (mm), representing the mean precipitation per output grid cell.
