Studio 3: Geospatial climate data and correlation

This studio explores trends and correlations in geospatial gridded data (monthly average temperature) over the past century. Students read the Studio 3 Instructions document and complete Studio 3 (R). Solution code is in Studio 3 Solutions (R). Output images are saved for reference. The script Studio 3 (R) also includes a shiny app that animates correlation patterns as one changes the latitude of the reference city.
