This dataset covers the last 800k years, at intervals of 1k years, and a resolution of 0.5 degrees in latitude and longitude.
Details
The units of several variables have been changed to match what is used in WorldClim.
If you use this dataset, make sure to cite the original publication:

The version included in pastclim has the ice sheets masked.
Note that, for bio15, we use the corrected version, which follows https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/691/ds691.pdf
