A function to calculate mean values of a `SpatRaster` at the absolute value of latitude, at the resolution of the given raster layer.
absLatitudinalMean(rasterForCalculation)Arguments
- rasterForCalculation
A `SpatRaster` that contains data for plotting according to latitudinal value
Value
A vector of mean values for each absolute latitude value.

package = "climateStability"))
precipStability <- 1/precipDeviation
alm <- absLatitudinalMean(rasterForCalculation = precipStability)
plot(alm, main = "Precipitation Stability by Absolute Latitude",
ylab = "Relative Stability", type = "l")
