Soil temperature bioclimatic variables

Details

These dataset consists of soil temperature layers calculated by adding monthly soil temperature offsets to monthly air-temperature maps from the CHELSA dataset. These soil temperature layers were then used to calculate annual means, temperature ranges, standard deviation, warmest and coldest months and quarters. Wettest and driest quarters were identified for each pixel based on CHELSA monthly values.
