Download, Extract and Visualise Climate and Elevation Data
Description
Grants access to three widely recognised modelled data sets, namely
Global Climate Data (WorldClim 2), Climatologies at high resolution for the
earth's land surface areas (CHELSA), and National Aeronautics and Space
Administration's (NASA) Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). It handles
both multi and single geospatial polygon and point data, extracts outputs
that can serve as covariates in various ecological studies. Provides two
common graphic options – the Walter-Lieth (1960)
climate diagram and the Holdridge (1967)
life zone classification scheme. Provides one new graphic scheme of our own
design which incorporates aspects of both Walter-Leigh and Holdridge.
Provides user-friendly access and extraction of globally recognisable data
sets to enhance their usability across a broad spectrum of applications.
