chirps: Access Climate Hazards Center Datasets
Provides access to Climate Hazards Center (CHC) datasets
including CHIRPS v3, CHIRPS v2, CHIRTS-daily and CHIRTS-ERA5, read
directly from the CHC server. 'CHIRPS' is a quasi-global (60°S to 60°N
for v3) high-resolution (0.05 arc-degrees) rainfall data set, which
incorporates satellite imagery and in-situ station data to create
gridded rainfall time series for trend analysis and seasonal drought
monitoring. 'CHIRTS' is a quasi-global (60°S to 70°N), high-resolution
data set of daily maximum and minimum temperatures. Data are returned
as rasters or as time series for points and polygons, ready for
climate indices with the 'climatrends' package. For more details
on CHC datasets please visit their official home page
