MTA: mean maximum temperature in April
mTD: mean minimum temperature in December
mTJ: mean minimum temperature in January
mTF: mean minimum temperature in February
mTM: mean minimum temperature in March
mTA: mean minimum temperature in April
mTUD: mean minimum temperature in December
mTUJ: mean minimum temperature in January
mTUF: mean minimum temperature in February
mTUM: mean minimum temperature in March
mTUA: mean minimum temperature in April
PRD: total monthly precipitation in December
PRJ: total monthly precipitation in Jan
PRF: total monthly precipitation in Feb
PRM: total monthly precipitation in Mar
SHD: sun hours per day in Dec

SHF: sun hours per day in Feb
EVD: total monthly evaporation in Dec
EVJ: total monthly evaporation in Jan
EVF: total monthly evaporation in Feb
EVM: total monthly evaporation in Mar
EVA: total monthly evaporation in Apr

The 'vargas.txe.yield' dataframe contains 240 observations on three variables
