abstract: Provides functions that automate downloading and importing University of
  East Anglia Climate Research Unit ('CRU') 'CL' v. 2.0 climatology data, facilitates
  the calculation of minimum temperature and maximum temperature and formats the data
  into a data.table object or a 'terra' 'SpatRaster' object. 'CRU' 'CL' v. 2.0 data
  are a gridded climatology of 1961-1990 monthly means released in 2002 and cover
  all land areas (excluding Antarctica) at 10 arc minutes (0.1666667 degree) resolution.
  For more information see the description of the data provided by the University
  of East Anglia Climate Research Unit, <https://crudata.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/hrg/tmc/readme.txt>.
