MicroclimateTests.jl

Demo, benchmark, and validation scripts for MicroclimateMapper.jl — not a registered package, just something to clone and run. Uses the shared BiophysicalEcologyEnv Julia environment (see .vscode/settings.json) rather than its own Project.toml.

Layout

• demos/ — get-started runnable examples of MicroclimateMapper.jl itself (point and raster mode).
• datasources/ — scripts exercising the underlying data-source packages (RasterDataSources.jl, PointDataSources.jl) that MicroclimateMapper.jl fetches forcing from: BARRA, SILO, CRU CL, soil texture, etc.
• benchmarks/ — like-for-like timing/memory comparisons between MicroclimateMapper.jl and other microclimate models, from reading in data through to a finished simulation.
• comparisons/ — validation against real station/field observations, with other models (NicheMapR, microclimf, CliMAland.jl) run on identical inputs as a secondary comparison. Each subfolder is a self-contained study (its own config.jl/pipeline.jl/comparison.jl/single_site.jl) — see comparisons/scan_snotel/README.md for the first one.

Nothing fetched or generated (weather caches, model outputs, station observations) is committed — see .gitignore. Where a comparison needs real data, its own README says where to get it.
