Breaking release! We have completely overhauled the naming conventions in climr (better now than later) so this release will break your workflows. There is a table included in the release giving a correspondence between old and new names. Other features include a new observational timeseries dataset (cru.gpcc), added 2023 to the climatena observational dataset, some cool plotting functions from Colin, and various bug fixes.

v0.0.4! Main improvements are:

• fixed gap between historic and future modelled timeseries
• added full North America domain to GCM future periods

Enhancements

• new tests comparing to reference outputs
• code further streamlined
• new messages warn user about meaningless downscale/climr_downscale argument combinations
• argument options in climr_downscale(..., which_normal) now match the options of normal_input(..., normal)
• add plot_bivariate() function to generate plots showing climate model ensemble variation in recent and future climate change.

Behaviour changes

• xyz (argument to climr_downscale and downscale) and in_xyz (argument to get_bb), must now be a 4 column data.table (or coercible class) with lon, lat, elev and id columns. All other columns are ignored and NOT returned. Column order no longer matters.

Bugfixes

• cache fixes
• fixing geographical checks to get highest resolution beyond BC, Canada
• fixing historic_input_ts to get only queried years
• get_bb follows column names
