WorldClim version 1 has average monthly global climate data for minimum,
mean, and maximum temperature and for precipitation.
WorldClim version 1 was developed by Robert J. Hijmans, Susan Cameron,
and Juan Parra, at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University
of California, Berkeley, in collaboration with Peter Jones and
Andrew Jarvis (CIAT), and with Karen Richardson (Rainforest CRC).
