climr Provide observational data for multiple normal periods

currently, we only have 1961-1990 and 2001-2020. ideally, we would have the option of other 30-year, 20-year, and 10-year periods. @cmahony will create the anomaly surfaces (north america) from CRU (temperature) and GPCC (precipitation).

towards this goal, i wrote a script to calculate anomaly surfaces for north america. TransferAnomalies_calculate.R it calculates anomalies for 10, 20, and 30 year periods starting in 1951, relative to a 1981-2010 reference period. this is in prep for when we have a composite climatology for 1981-2010. I output the surfaces in a folder in devl called TransferAnomalies.

i created a set of anomaly surfaces relative to 1961-1990 and moved all anomaly surfaces to object storage (\objectstore2.nrs.bcgov\ffec\TransferAnomalies) (these anomalies are using the CRU TS v4.05 for temperature and GPCC v2020 for precipitation).

wait for aseem to build the new CRU-ERA5 hybrid time series.
