This data-only package was created for distributing data useful with GSODR and used in examples for the GSODR package vignettes.
Due to the installed package, >9Mb, this package is only available from GitHub.
Authors: Adam Sparks, Tomislav Hengl, and Andrew Nelson Maintainer: Adam Sparks adamhsparks@gmail.com URL: https://github.com/adamhsparks/GSODRdata BugReports: https://github.com/adamhsparks/GSODRdata/issues Depends: R (>= 3.2.0) Suggests: GSODR
Six data frames of climate data are provided from various sources for GSOD station locations and can be joined with data formatted by the GSODR package using the STNID
column.
CHELSA - Climatic surfaces at 1 km resolution is based on a quasi-mechanistic statistical down scaling of the ERA interim global circulation model (Karger et al. 2016). ESA's CCI-LC cloud probability monthly averages are based on the MODIS snow products (MOD10A2).
CRU_CL_2 - The CRU CL v. 2.0 data-set (New et al. 2002) comprises monthly grids of observed mean climate from 1961-1990, and covering the global land surface at a 10 minute spatial resolution. There are eight climatic variables available, and also the elevations on the grid: diurnal temperature range, precipitation, mean temperature, wet-day frequency, frost-day frequency, relative humidity, sunshine, and wind-speed. Minimum and maximum temperature are also calculated using getCRUCLdata and included in this data set, (see FAQ).
ESACCI - ESA's CCI-LC snow cover probability http://maps.elie.ucl.ac.be/CCI/viewer/index.php.
MODCF - Remotely sensed high-resolution global cloud dynamics for predicting ecosystem and biodiversity distributions (Wilson et al. 2016) provides new near-global, fine-grain (≈1km) monthly cloud frequencies from 15 years of twice-daily MODIS satellite images.
WorldClim_Bio 1.4 - WorldClim Global Climate Data - Free climate data for ecological modeling and GIS (Hijmans et al. 2004) provides freely available bioclimatic variables. These data are freely available for download from http://www.worldclim.org/version1.
WorldClim_Clim 1.4 - WorldClim Global Climate Data - Free climate data for ecological modeling and GIS (Hijmans et al. 2004) provides freely available, average monthly climate data. Current conditions (interpolations of observed data, representative of 1960-1990) are freely available for download from http://www.worldclim.org/version1.
This package is only available from GitHub due to its large size. It provides optional data for use with the GSODR package, some of which are demonstrated with examples in the GSODR documentation.

### Using _GSODRdata_
See the _GSODR_ vignette, [Working with spatial and climate data from GSODR and GSODRdata](https://ropensci.github.io/GSODR/articles/Working_with_spatial_and_climate_data.html), for use and examples.
### Keeping _GSODRdata_ updated
With each new release of _GSODR_, the _GSODRdata_ package is also updated. To
keep your local installation up-to-date, please use:
```r
devtools::update_packages("GSODRdata")
If you find bugs or have an idea to make this package better, please file a report with us.
