interpreting bioclimatic variables

[Keith Larson]

Hello,

I would like to know if there are any good references for interpreting
the meaning of the bioclimatic variables found on the worldclim.org
site? Specifically, variables like isothermality can be difficult for
some reviewers to understand. I would like to find some relatively
simple interpretations that people not familiar with the species
distribution models and bioclimatic variables could understand.

Thanks,
Keith

Hi Kieth,

I would suggest taking a look at the following links:

https://www.climond.org/Resources.aspx

http://fennerschool.anu.edu.au/publications/software/anuclim/anuclim61_user_guide.pdf

Thanks for the two links, but neither of them expand upon the current
definitions found on the worldclim.org website. Again I would like to
find definitions that people (inlcuding reviewers) who are not climate
modelers will understand, e.g. isothermality.

Cheers,
Keith
