for the South East Asia 10 minute climate grid
This 10 minute climate grid was created from the 2.5 minute
grid originally installed as an internal grid in FloraMap.
Problems with machine capacity had been noted by some users
when using the Asian internal grid in association with the
other internal data grids. By cutting down on the precision,
this grid allows easy cross continent comparisons. Select
it as an external grid.
