Define climate variables #32

Closed beckybanbury closed 4 years ago

beckybanbury commented 5 years ago

@teixeirak A lot of climate variables we're using are self explanatory, but some of them might require explanation e.g. aridity, PET, which are derived from other climate datasets. Do you think we should include definitions of climate variables, and if so, should this go in a table in supplementary information?

teixeirak commented 5 years ago

An SI table with definitions sounds good. Even something like "precipitation seasonality", which is fairly self explanatory, could be calculated in a number of ways. I don't think there's any need for a table in the main text.

Note: This is now done in Table S1, for the appendix.

@beckybanbury, when you have a chance (non-urgent), could you please double check the definition of temperature seasonality? That doesn't make sense.

now covered in issue #60, closing this.
