plotBehaviour: Plotting spatial wind behaviour

In StormR: Analyzing the Behaviour of Wind Generated by Tropical Storms and Cyclones

Plotting spatial wind behaviour

Description

The plotBehaviour() function allows plotting spatial statistics generated using the spatialBehaviour() function and stored in SpatRaster objects.

Usage

plotBehaviour(
  sts,
  rasterProduct,
  colorPalette = NULL,
  main = NULL,
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  labels = FALSE,
  by = 8,
  pos = 3,
  legends = "topright",
  dynamicPlot = FALSE
)

Arguments

sts	StormsList object.
rasterProduct	layer name in a SpatRaster object. The names of the layers follow the following terminology: for "MSW" or "PDI", the name of the storm in capital letters and the name of the statistic separated by underscores (e.g., "PAM_MSW", "PAM_PDI"), for duration of exposure, the name of the storm in capital letters, "Exposure", and the threshold value separated by underscores (e.g., "PAM_Exposure_18", "PAM_Exposure_33", ...). for wind profiles, the name of the storm in capital letters, "Speed" or "Direction", and the indices of the observation separated by underscores (e.g., "PAM_Speed_41", "PAM_Direction_41",...).
colorPalette	character vector. The color palette used to plot the raster layer. If colorPalette=NULL (default setting), the default color palette is used.
main	character. Title of the plot. If main=NULL (default setting), a default title is generated based on the name of the layer.
xlim	numeric vector. The x limits of the plot.
ylim	numeric vector. The y limits of the plot.
labels	logical. Whether (TRUE) or not (FALSE, default setting) to add labels with the name of the storm and the indices and ISO times of the observation.
by	numeric. If labels=TRUE, defines the frequency at which labels are plotted. Default value is set to 8 which corresponds to a 24h (or 48h) time interval between the labelled observations when observations are made every 3 (or 6) hours.
pos	numeric. If labels=TRUE, defines the position of the labels, 1 (above the observation), 2 (on the left), 3 (below, default setting), and 4 (on the right).
legends	character. Indicates where to plot the legend, "topright"(default setting), "topleft", "bottomleft", "bottomright", or "none" (legend not plotted).
dynamicPlot	logical. Whether (FALSE, default setting) or (TRUE) to plot the data dynamicaly using leaflet library

Value

A plot of the storm track data with the raster layer.

Examples

# Creating a stormsDataset
sds <- defStormsDataset()

# Getting storm track data for tropical cyclone Pam (2015)
pam <- defStormsList(sds = sds, loi = "Vanuatu", names = "PAM")

# Plotting maximum sustained wind speed for Pam (2015) near Vanuatu
pam.msw <- spatialBehaviour(pam, verbose = 0)
plotBehaviour(pam, pam.msw)

# dynamicPlot mode
plotBehaviour(pam, pam.msw, dynamicPlot = TRUE)

# Plotting 2D wind speed profile for Pam (2015) near Vanuatu
pam.prof <- spatialBehaviour(pam, product = "Profiles", verbose = 0)
plotBehaviour(pam, pam.prof$PAM_Speed_37, labels = TRUE, pos = 4)
