TerraclimateR

The terraclimate data set¹ provides data on 14 climatic variables through time since 1958 at ~4km resolution in space and monthly resolution in time. TerraclimateR is a lightweight package that implements a single function (get_terraclim) to access these data and import them directly into R in long format.
