Get bioclimatic layers from Bio-Oracle for current and future scenarios

get_bio_oracle(
  period,
  var_type,
  model = NULL,
  scenario = NULL,
  sv_dir = getwd(),
  load2r = TRUE,
  parallel = TRUE
)

Arguments

period

Time period. Posible values are: "current","2050","2100","2200".
var_type

Type of variable. Posible values are: 'salinity','sea_surface_temperature', 'current_velocity','sea_water_temperature','sea_water_salinity','sea_ice_thickness', 'chlorophyll_concentration','sea_surface_salinity'.
model

Climate model. Possible values are: "UKMO-HadCM3" and "AOGCM"
scenario

Climate change scenario. Posible values are "a1b","a2","b1","rcp26","rcp45","rcp60","rcp85".
sv_dir

Path to the directory where the layers will be saved. The default is the working directory of the R session.
load2r

Logical. Load layers into R?
parallel

Download layers in parallel.
