Paleoclim is a set of high resolution paleoclimate reconstructions, mostly based on the CESM model, downscaled with the CHELSA dataset to 3 different spatial resolutions: paleoclim_1.0_2.5m at 2.5 arc-minutes (~5 km), paleoclim_1.0_5m at 5 arc-minutes (~10 km), and paleoclim_1.0_10m 10 arc-minutes (~20 km). All 19 biovariables are available. There are only a limited number of time slices available for this dataset; furthermore, currently only time slices from present to 130ka are available in pastclim.
