Welcome to climate modeler in R, short climodr. This package uses point data from climate stations, spectral imagery and elevation models to automatically create ready-to-use climate maps.
First of all, the idea of climodr is to deliver an easy to use method for creating high quality climate maps. Like the one we create in this vignette:
Package deliverables
This Package delivers
- a tight and easy to use workflow to create resilient climate models and maps
- wrapper functions that make your life in R easier
- a fast alternative to months of coding and bugfixing
Package Features
Climodr is mainly split into four steps:
- Environment Management for Easy Use, Reproducability and Shareability
- Pre-Processing of climate station data as well as spatial raster data, generation of spectral indices
- Processing of Pre-Processed data into climate models and predictions
- Plotting of climate maps
Preparation and prerequisites
A basic understanding of R and of handling spatial data is beneficial. Initial experience with climate modeling is helpful. All software needed to run climodr is free and open source.
If you have absolutely no experience with R we highly recommend our base R course, which can be found here.
