precipDeviation {climateStability}R Documentation

Worldwide deviation in annual precipitation over the last 21,000 years

Description

Using *PaleoView* version 1.1 (Fordham, *et al.* 2017), 20 100-year climatological means of annual precipitation were generated over 1,000-year time slices from the TRaCE21ka experiments implemented using the CCSM 3.0 climate model. We then calculated deviation through time as the mean of standard deviations between time slices divided by the time elapsed between time slices. This calculation was performed using the 'deviationThroughTime()' function in the 'climateStability' package.

Usage

data(precipDeviation)

Format

An object of class "raster"
