Description

The default instance of FetchClimate at <http://fetchclimate2.cloudapp.net/> provides the following data

Details

Environmental variables:

"airt_land": Air temperature near surface. Land only areas (Degrees C)
"airt_ocean" : Air temperature near surface. Ocean only areas (Degrees C)
"depth_ocean" : Depth below sea level. Ocean only areas (meters)
"dtr" : Diurnal air temperature rate (Degrees C)
"elev" : Elevation above sea level (meters)
"elev_land" : Elevation above sea level. Land only a areas (meters)
"frs" : Frost days frequency (days/month)
"pet": Potential evapotranspiration (mm/month)

Note that availavle variables as well as datasets are subject to change in time The list above describes the most recent configuration However specifing timestamp parameter other than "Now" may lead to different set of available data Verify the actual list using 'fcVariables()' and 'fcDataSets()' functions
