Usage

getMonthlyMean(
  data,
  year_min = 1961,
  year_max = 1990,
  station = names(data),
  no_date = FALSE,
  origin = "1961-1-1",
  yearly = FALSE
)

Arguments

data	a dataframe containing daily data.
year_min	start year
year_max	end year
station	character vector of the IDs of the station where the data are requested
no_date	logical value if TRUE the function extractmonths is used. Default is FALSE. It is recommended if data does not contain columns for the dates.
origin	date corresponding to the first row
yearly	logical value. If TRUE the monthly mean values are calculated for each year from year_min to year_max separately. Default is FALSE.

Value

a matrix containing the requested monthly means where each month corresponds to a row and each station corresponds to a column or a list of such matrices in case the monthly mean values are calculated separately for each year (if yearly is TRUE)

Note

The input data frame data must have the following fields: year,month,day,variables_ID1,variables_ID2,... where the fields ,variables_ID1,variables_ID2,... contain the daily variables referred to the respective stations and the field names are replaced with the respective station ID. In case yearly is TRUE the returned output is a list of matrices whose names are the corresponding year.
