Details

Sunwook's tool computes monthly averages of temperature and precipitation change. We average these out to compute a yearly average.

Value

A dataframe containing four columns (model, scenario, temp, and precip), which detail the gcm model, the scenario (e.g. RCP 2.6), the temperature change in absolute units, and the preciptation change in percentges (where 1 == 0% change, and 0.9 == -10% percentage change)
