This resource is published by Fick et al. (2017) "WorldClim 2: new 1-km spatial resolution climate surfaces for global land areas". This resource 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 2000 - 2018 on monthly basis from WorldClim.

Format

Global raster layers available for years 2000 to 2018.
