Future climate list of sf objects

Source: R/data-future.R
future.Rd

These sf objects contain future worldwide climate classifications for different year intervals.

Future scenarios are dependent on several variables like pollution levels. Currently the future datapackage contains the following scenarios:

  • A1FI: from Rubel & Kottek 2010, quick economic and technological growth through intensive use of fossil fuel

  • Beck: from Beck et al. 2018, high emissions

Usage

Format

future is a list of 5 sf objects:

  • 2001-2025-A1F1: A1FI scenario for the possible climate between 2001 and 2025

  • 2026-2050-A1FI: A1FI scenario for the possible climate between 2026 and 2050

  • 2051-2075-A1FI: A1FI scenario for the possible climate between 2051 and 2075

  • 2076-2100-A1FI: A1FI scenario for the possible climate between 2076 and 2100

  • 2071-2100_Beck: Beck scenario for the possible climate between 2071 and 2100

Each sf object contains 3 variables:

  • ID: polygon identifier

  • GRIDCODE: grid value corresponding to a climate zone

  • geometry: the coordinates that define the polygon's shape
