absLatitudinalMean {climateStability}

absLatitudinalMean

Description

A function to calculate mean values of a 'SpatRaster' at the absolute value of latitude, at the resolution of the given raster layer.

Usage

absLatitudinalMean(rasterForCalculation)

Arguments

rasterForCalculation

A 'SpatRaster' that contains data for plotting according to latitudinal value

Value

A vector of mean values for each absolute latitude value.
