Hi all, I want to interpret some results of a model, but I do not understand two variables: What is the seasonality in temperature (BIO4) and precipitation (BIO15) ... in which units are expressed? ... Which Represent Because the organisms I am working with are very closely associated with those variables. Thank you. I hope your answers !! ... Greetings.
I found this:
temperature seasonality is a measure of temperature change over the course of the year. The worldclim calculates temperature seasonality using the standard deviation of the mean monthly temperature instead of deriving the temperature seasonality coefficient of variation. the larger the standard deviation, the greater the variability of temperature.
hope you got a glimpse.
precipitation seasonality:
this index provides a % of precipitation variability where larger % represent greater variability of precipitation.
this is a measure of the variation in monthly precipitation totals over the course of the year, expressed in %.
Pietro Milanesi and Madan K. Suwal , I am seeing the value from 0 to 261 for precipitation seasonality. Is it possible range? Pietro Milanesi I can't open the link provided by you. Do you have downloaded copy?
Saroj Panthi please go through the documentation by USGS.

it illustrate how each Bioclimatic variables (Bio1 to 19) is developed.
good luck
