getData function not working

[seandres11]

Hi!

I am having issues downloading worldclim data through the raster package.

See code below for error message, and let me know if I can provide any other information to help!

r<-getData('CMIP5', var='bio', res=2.5, rcp=85, model="CN" , year=70, lon=151.0034, lat=-33.8136, download=TRUE)

This works for me, so this was probably a temporary glitch (the webserver not working well).

I'm having this same problem now, but haven't had this problem in the past. Just wondering if this is a server issue or if there's another way to fix this? Thanks!

Hey! Are you on a mac?? I fixed my issue by changing my cran mirror to Mac. Theres also a new version of r now which updating might also help. https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ Let me know if that helps!

Thanks Sam! I tried installing the newest version of R and still having the issue. If you don't mind me asking, which mirror are you using? I don't see an option for a Mac mirror specifically.

[seandres11]

Hmm, are you on a mac? At the moment, I am using the CDN Global mirror. Perhaps the function you are using is masked by another package? Cheers, Sam Samantha E.

I've been encountering the same issue for the past two days. Like others who have posted in this thread, I've used the getData function many times (most recently in March) and have never encountered this problem before!

Each time, I've tried running getData as follows:

bioclimdat <- raster::getData(name = "worldclim", var = "bio", res = 2.5)

and every time, I get this message (although the size of the "downloaded" file has ranged from 89.5 - 109.3 MB across my 5 or 6 unsuccessful attempts):

trying URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/climate/worldclim/1_4/grid/cur/bio_2-5m_bil.zip'

I have access to .bil and .hdr files for each of the 19 bioclimatic variables from my last successful getData run in March. Is there a way of using those files to create a raster stack while the webserver is down/malfunctioning (if that is the source of the issue)?

I'm having the same problem.
I'm using raster version 3.4-13 on:
R version 4.1.1 (2021-08-10)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin17.0 (64-bit)
Running under: macOS Mojave 10.14.5

Example: getData() cannot access https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/climate/worldclim/1_4/tiles/cur/tmin_23.zip.

I could download the zip file, but it contains 12 .bil files and 12 .hdr files, and I have no idea of what to use. How to fix this? Is there a way to load worldclim data into R from local files? If so, how?

[rhijmans]

perhaps you need to increase the timeout setting before using getData. Something like this:

options(timeout = 600)

[marcoplebani85]

Hello @rhijmans thank you for the tip. I did not know about it and it might come in handy some other time. Upon closer inspection, my problem is not the same as @rlfrench had though. I should have been more thorough, my bad. Here is my code and error message:

raster::getData('worldclim', var='tmin', res=0.5, lon = -88.35507, lat = 17.19497)

[rhijmans]

Hi @marcoplebani85
The error message Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates would seem to be related to your system.
It works for me on a similar macOS. Can you try on another computer?
To create a RasterStack from the files, you can do stack(filenames)

Hello,

sessionInfo()

I don't think their server is the issue because I can download the data by opening the link that getData can't access using my browser. Good to know about stack(), thanks. I managed to download worldclim files on my computer via my browser, then I got getData() to load them into R. First I unzipped them, took them out of their folders, and put them in a new folder called "wc0.5" in my work directory. Then I run raster::getData('worldclim', var='tmin', res=0.5, lon = -88.35507, lat = 17.19497, download=F). Cheers!
