Walter and Lieth climatic diagram on ggplot2

Description

Plot of a Walter and Lieth climatic diagram of a station. This function is an updated version of climatol::diagwl(), by Jose A. Guijarro.

Usage

ggclimat_walter_lieth(
  dat,
  est = "",
  alt = NA,
  per = NA,
  mlab = "es",
  pcol = "#002F70",
  tcol = "#ff0000",
  pfcol = "#9BAEE2",
  sfcol = "#3C6FC4",
  shem = FALSE,
  p3line = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

dat	Monthly climatic data for which the diagram will be plotted.
est	Name of the climatological station
alt	Altitude of the climatological station
per	Period on which the averages have been computed
mlab	Month labels for the X axis. Use 2-digit language code ("en", "es", etc.). See readr::locale() for info.
pcol	Color pen for precipitation.
tcol	Color pen for temperature.
pfcol	Fill color for probable frosts.
sfcol	Fill color for sure frosts.
shem	Set to TRUE for southern hemisphere stations.
p3line	Set to TRUE to draw a supplementary precipitation line referenced to three times the temperature (as suggested by Bogdan Rosca).
...	Other graphic parameters

Details

See Details on climatol::diagwl().

Climatic data must be passed as a 4x12 matrix of monthly (January to December) data, in the following order:

• Row 1: Mean precipitation.

• Row 2: Mean maximum daily temperature.

• Row 3: Mean minimum daily temperature.

• Row 4: Absolute monthly minimum temperature.

See climaemet_9434_climatogram for a sample dataset.

Value

A ggplot2 object. See help("ggplot2").

API Key

You need to set your API Key globally using aemet_api_key().
