check_inventory_cmip5: Perform some checks on the inventory of CMIP5 files

In eurocordexr: Makes it Easier to Work with Daily 'netCDF' from EURO-CORDEX RCMs

Perform some checks on the inventory of CMIP5 files

Description

Some simple checks for multiple time frequencies, ensembles, and completeness of simulation periods. These checks are meant as guides only, since one might not wish multiple elements of the above for climate model ensemble assessments.

Usage

check_inventory_cmip5(data_inventory, check_hist = FALSE)

Arguments

data_inventory	A data.table as resulting from get_inventory.
check_hist	Boolean, if TRUE, tests that each rcp* has a corresponding historical run.

Details

The checks are

• for multiple time frequency (day, month, ...)

• for multiple ensembles (r1i1p1, r2i1p1, ...)

• for complete periods of simulations: here complete means at least 1860-2005 for historical and 2006-2099 for rcp*

• that each rcp* has a corresponding historical run (optional, off by default; otherwise problematic with merged hist and rcp runs)

Value

An object of class "eurocordexr_inv_check_cmip5" (an overloaded list) with results from the checks. Has a special print method, which shows a verbose summary of the results.

Examples

# some empty example files
fn_zip <- system.file("extdata", "inv-test-files-cmip5.zip", package = "eurocordexr")
tmpdir <- tempdir()
unzip(fn_zip, exdir = tmpdir)

dat_inv <- get_inventory_cmip5(fs::path(tmpdir, "testdata-cmip5"))
check_inventory_cmip5(dat_inv)
