Reconstruct biomes based on the Köppen Geiger's classification

Description

Function to reconstruct biomes following the Köppen Geiger's classification, as implemented in Beck et al (2018). This function is a translation of the Matlab function "KoeppenGeiger" provided in that publication. See Table 1 in beck et al (2018) for the rules implemented in this function.

Usage

koeppen_geiger(prec, tavg, broad = FALSE, class_names = TRUE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'matrix,matrix'
koeppen_geiger(prec, tavg, broad = FALSE, class_names = TRUE)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster,SpatRaster'
koeppen_geiger(
  prec,
  tavg,
  broad = FALSE,
  class_names = TRUE,
  filename = "",
  ...
)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRasterDataset,SpatRasterDataset'
koeppen_geiger(
  prec,
  tavg,
  broad = FALSE,
  class_names = TRUE,
  filename = "",
  ...
)

Arguments

prec

monthly precipitation

tavg

monthly average temperatures

broad

boolean whether to return broad level classification

class_names

boolean whether to return the names of classes (in addition to codes)

...

additional variables for specific methods

filename

filename to save the raster (optional).
