Update default monthly temperatures based on median monthly temperatures across all 898 big sagebrush sites #195

I am going to calculate the median monthly temperatures across 898 big sagebrush sites we have been using for simulations and then re-evaluate and potentially re-adjust the default monthly temperature values that are provided in inputs.

I used the 898 big sagebrush sites we have been utilizing for various projects to calculate both median monthly temperature and mean monthly temperature across all sites. See here:

monthlytemps.xlsx

These values are consistently warmer for each month than the default values we are currently using in InputData_MonthlyTemp.csv.

I plan on updating these default values to the median monthly temperatures across all 898 sites.

@dschlaep @chaukap let me know if you have any objections.
