buildStructureEnsembles: List files for a single ensemble member

In futureheatwaves: Find, Characterize, and Explore Extreme Events in Climate Projections

Description

This function reads through the user-specified dataFolder directory and creates a list with pathnames to all three files (projection times, grid points, and projections) for a single ensemble member.

Usage

buildStructureEnsembles(ensemblePath, coordinateFilenames, tasFilenames,
  timeFilenames, dataDirectories)

Arguments

ensemblePath	A character string that gives the absolute file path for files for an ensemble member within the user-specified projection directory (dataFolder).
coordinateFilenames	Character string the with filename of each grid point location file. This filename should be identical for all ensemble member subdirectories included in the dataFolder directory. See the package vignette for an example of the required structure for this file.
tasFilenames	Character string the with filename of each climate projection file. This filename should be identical for all ensemble member subdirectories included in the dataFolder directory. See the package vignette for an example of the required structure for this file.
timeFilenames	Character string the with filename of each projection dates file. This filename should be identical for all ensemble member subdirectories included in the dataFolder directory. See the package vignette for an example of the required structure for this file.
dataDirectories	A list object, with two elements, one for each of the two subdirectories included in the main directory. Typically, these will be separate directories of historical and projection experiments from climate models. Each element of the list should be named with the name of the subdirectory and should provide a numeric vector with the starting and ending years of the data within each of the two subdirectories (e.g., list("historical" = c(1990, 1999), "rcp85" = c(2060, 2079)) for a dataFolder with historical experiment data for 1990 to 1999 and RCP8.5 projections for 2060 to 2079).

Value

A list of length 2. The first element is the name of the ensemble that was processed. The second element is a vector with the filepaths of the three files.
