Hi Markus<br>
<br>
I just noticed that r.bioclim rounds the values, resulting in an
integer map. I realize that the <i>toutscale</i> parameter can be
set to get the required precision. Still, would it be an idea to
mention more explicitly in the help file that the output files are
integer and that in order to ensure sufficient precision, one needs
to set the toutscale? Perhaps also something to mention, only scale
factor of a power of 10 make sense (given the rounding of the final
results)?<br>
<br>
A suggestion is (added text in italic) :<br>
<br>
<p><br>
If the input temperatures are scaled, e.g. as input = Celsius * <br>
10, then the <b>inscale</b> option must be set to 10.
Similarly, the <br>
<b>outscale</b> option is by default 10, and temperature
output is <br>
in this case Celsius * 10. Exceptions are BIO3, BIO4, and BIO15 <br>
which are always multiplied with 100 (see below). <i>The reason
<b></i><i><br>
</i><i>outscale</b> is set to 10 by default is that the output
layers </i><i><br>
</i><i>are integers and a scaling factor of 10 (or higher power of
10) </i><i><br>
</i><i>ensures a minimum precision.</i><br>
<br>
p.s. why are all maps rounded? For me that would be something to
leave up to the user (or to make integer maps as output optional)?<br>
<br>
And let me take the opportunity to wish you all a happy 2016 :-)<br>
<br>
