To resolve this we need to see if a password can be passed to the system.

Hi Mika, Thanks again looking into accessing the Cru TS4 data set. I am not sure if that if that is helpful, but apparently, it's the British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC) that requires registration to access the data: https://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/SOURCES/.UEA/.CRU/.TS4p05/.getting_permission.html

However, it can be downloaded without registration here: https://crudata.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/hrg/ (but you already wrote that this is not helpful for the climateR package).

Can you use the Google Earth Interface? https://crudata.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/hrg/cru_ts_4.05/ge/ (apologies, but I don't really know how the accessing of the data works for packages like climateR that only get a subset of the data).

Best, Urs
