plot_cont_comp: Contour plot of DYRESM-CAEDYM simulation outputs of a water...

In dycdtools: Tools for DYRESM-CAEDYM Model Development: Calibration Assistant and Post-Processing

Contour plot of DYRESM-CAEDYM simulation outputs of a water quality variable, with observed data shown as dots in the generated contour plot.

Description

Contour plot a matrix of values of a water quality variable.

Usage

plot_cont_comp(
  sim,
  obs,
  sim.start,
  sim.end,
  plot.start,
  plot.end,
  legend.title,
  min.depth,
  max.depth,
  by.value,
  nlevels = 20
)

Arguments

sim	a matrix of simulated variables. This matrix can be generated by running the "interpol" function.
obs	a data frame having three columns to describe observed values of a water quality variable. These three columns are 'Date' (as '%Y-%m-%d'), 'Depth', and the designated variable name which can be found from the var.name column of 'data(output_name)'. An example of such a data frame can be found with 'data(obs_temp)'
sim.start, sim.end	the start and end dates of the simulation period for the DYRESM-CAEDYM model run of interest. The date format must be "%Y-%m-%d".
plot.start, plot.end	the start and end dates of the period to be plotted, in the format of "%Y-%m-%d".
legend.title	the legend title of the contour figure.
min.depth, max.depth, by.value	minimum and maximum depths used to be the start of y axis of the contour plot, at the increment of by.value.
nlevels	Number of levels which are used to partition the range of simulation variable.

Details

This function is NOT based on ggplot2. To save the produced figure, users can use functions like png, bmp, jpeg, etc.

Value

This function returns a filled.contour object.

Examples

obs <- data.frame(Date = c(rep('2020-01-01', 6), rep('2020-01-02', 6)),
                  Depth = rep(0:5, 2),
                  TEMP = rep(29:24,2))

sim <- matrix(c(28,28,28,27,25,24,12,13,14,15,16,17),
              nrow = 6,
              ncol = 2)

# contour plot of temperature simulations
# with observed data shown as colour-coded dots
  p <- plot_cont_comp(sim = sim,
                 obs = obs,
                 sim.start = "2020-01-01",
                 sim.end = "2020-01-02",
                 plot.start = "2020-01-01",
                 plot.end = "2020-01-02",
                 legend.title = "T \u00B0C",
                 min.depth=0, max.depth=5, by.value=1,
                 nlevels=20)
