This program calculates bioclimatic indices and fluxes (radiation,
evapotranspiration, soil moisture) for use in studies of ecosystem
function, species distribution, and vegetation dynamics under changing
climate scenarios. Predictions are based on a minimum of required
inputs: latitude, precipitation, air temperature, and cloudiness.

## Installation

You can install the released version of splash from
[CRAN](https://CRAN.R-project.org) with:

``` r
install.packages("splash")
```

And the development version from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:

<!-- You can install the development version from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with: -->

``` r
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("villegar/splash")
```
