Usage

get_worldclim(period = "cur", model = "", version = "1_4",
  varset = "bio", res = 2.5)

Arguments

period	A string. Either 'cur', 'midholo', or 'lgm'.
model	For paleo models. Which to use (i.e., 'ccsm4'). See http://worldclim.org/paleo-climate1 for options.
version	Either '1_4', or '2.0'
varset	Either 'bio', 'tmean', 'tmin', 'tmax', or 'prec'.
res	What spatial resolution? '10', '2.5' arcmin, or '30' seconds. (options are '10', '2.5', '30').
