A numeric matrix containing gridded April total precipitation (in mm) over the Netherlands, together with projected coordinates (UTM, km) and a distance-to-coast covariate (km). The precipitation field is derived from the WorldClim v2.1 monthly climatology for April (i.e., long-term monthly averages rather than a specific year).
data(rainNLD)A numeric matrix with 71,401 rows and 4 columns:
Easting coordinate (UTM zone 31N), in kilometers.
Northing coordinate (UTM zone 31N), in kilometers.
Distance to the coastline, in kilometers (computed from Natural Earth coastline geometry, transformed to UTM).
April total precipitation, in millimeters.
Coordinates were projected from longitude/latitude (WGS84) to UTM zone 31N and rescaled to kilometers. The distance-to-coast covariate was computed as the Euclidean distance (in UTM) from each grid cell to the nearest coastline.
