RShiny_MicroclimGuide

RShiny_Microclim is an interactive shiny app that facilitates the selection of microclimate datasets. The app compares 8 different datasets (SCAN, ERA5-Land, GLDAS, gridMET, NOAA NCDC, microclim, microclimUS, USCRN) both temporally and spatially. Once users selects a dataset, we offer this user guide, which explains how to access and download each dataset.

The app complements this manuscript: Meyer, Abigail V., Yutaro Sakairi, Michael R. Kearney, and Lauren B. Buckley. 2023. “A Guide and Tools for Selecting and Accessing Microclimate Data for Mechanistic Niche Modeling.” Ecosphere14(4): e4506.

This is a reconfiguration of a previous docker Azure version.
