  language = "eng",
  legal_amazon_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

dataset

A dataset name, choosing which variable will be loaded. One of ("max_temperature", "min_temperature", "wind_speed", "vapor_pressure_deficit", "vapor_pressure", "snow_water_equivalent", "shortwave_radiation_flux", "soil_moisture", "runoff", "precipitation", "potential_evaporation", "climatic_water_deficit", "water_evaporation", "palmer_drought_severity_index"). For extra details, try vignette("TERRACLIMATE").

raw_data

A boolean setting the return of raw (TRUE) or processed (FALSE) data.

time_period

A numeric indicating for which years the data will be loaded, in the format YYYY. Can be any vector of numbers, such as 2010:2012.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Downloading maximum temperature data from 2000 to 2001
max_temp <- load_climate(dataset = "max_temperature", time_period = 2000:2001)

# Downloading precipitation data only for the legal Amazon in 2010
amz_precipitation <- load_climate(
  dataset = "precipitation",
  time_period = 2010,
  legal_amazon_only = TRUE
)

## End(Not run)
