  description: '[TerraClimate](http://www.climatologylab.org/terraclimate.html) is
    a dataset of monthly climate and climatic water balance for global terrestrial
    surfaces from 1958 to the present. These data provide important inputs for ecological
    and hydrological studies at global scales that require high spatial resolution
    and time-varying data. All data have monthly temporal resolution and a ~4-km (1/24th
    degree) spatial resolution. This dataset is provided in [Zarr](https://zarr.readthedocs.io/)
    format.
