EtaModelCC

Overview

EtaModelCC is a R package to access high resolution climate change projections over Central and South America of PROJETA plataform (CPTEC/INPE) using the Eta model. The EtaModelCC is developed by Mosaico research group at University of Passo Fundo (Brazil).

Getting started and citation

If you are just getting started with EtaModelCC we recommend starting with the description of PROJETA project and the paper:
