Gridded benchmarking data must be global coverage?

[qianzhao0408]

I'd like to define custom regions based on a regions.txt file and gridded benchmarking data of the USA region.

As the tutorial says, 'ILAMB expects that the analysis will be performed over at least the global region. Overall scores are based on information in that region.'.

Does this mean that if the gridded benchmarking datasets must be globally, rather than regionally?

@nocollier , your help will be greatly appreciated!!
