Description: A tool for Hierarchical Climate Regionalization applicable
        to any correlation-based clustering. It adds several features
        and a new clustering method (called, 'regional' linkage) to
        hierarchical clustering in R ('hclust' function in 'stats'
        library): data regridding, coarsening spatial resolution,
        geographic masking, contiguity-constrained clustering, data
        filtering by mean and/or variance thresholds, data
        preprocessing (detrending, standardization, and PCA), faster
        correlation function with preliminary big data support,
        different clustering methods, hybrid hierarchical clustering,
        multivariate clustering (MVC), cluster validation,
        visualization of regionalization results, and exporting region
        map and mean timeseries into NetCDF-4 file. The technical
        details are described in Badr et al. (2015)
        <doi:10.1007/s12145-015-0221-7>.
