Calculations of BioLake climate data

July 11, 2023

Climate data allow people to examine species distributions and possible distributions.
This script takes ERA5-Land climate estimates (https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/datasets/reanalysis-datasets/era5) for precipitation and lake temperature and processes them to create summary climate layers for use with biological organisms in lakes. This code could be modified to use a different subset of years.
