AgroClimateData: Example AgroClimate data from AgERA5

Description

The AgERA5 dataset provides daily surface meteorological data for the period from 1979 to present as input for agriculture and agro-ecological studies. This dataset is based on the hourly ECMWF ERA5 data at surface level, the data from 01/01/1982 through 12/31/2022 extracted for a grid located in located in Angochen, Nampula province of Mozambique.
