climograph: Climograph

In hydroTSM: Time Series Management, Analysis and Interpolation for Hydrological Modelling

Description

Function to draw a climograph based on precipitation and temperature data.

Usage

climograph(pcp, tmean, tmx, tmn, na.rm=TRUE,  
           from, to, date.fmt="%Y-%m-%d", 
           main="Climograph", 
           pcp.label="Precipitation, [mm]", 
           tmean.label="Temperature, [\U00B0 C]",
           pcp.col="lightblue", 
           tmean.col="red")

Arguments

pcp	variable of type zoo with monthly, daily or subdaily precipitation data.
tmean	variable of type 'zoo' with monthly, daily or subdaily mean temperature data.
tmx	variable of type 'zoo' with monthly, daily or subdaily maximum temperature data. ONLY used (togheter with tmn) when tmean' is missing.
tmn	variable of type 'zoo' with monthly, daily or subdaily minimum temperature data. ONLY used (togheter with tmx) when tmean is missing.
na.rm	Logical. Should missing values be removed? -) TRUE : the monthly values are computed considering only those values different from NA -) FALSE: if there is AT LEAST one NA within a month, the resulting average monthly value is NA .
main	Character representing the main title of the plot.
pcp.label	Character used in the legend to represent the monthly average precipitation (mostly thought for languages different from English).
tmean.label	Character used in the legend to represent the monthly average temperature (mostly thought for languages different from English).
pcp.col	Color used in the legend to represent the monthly average precipitation.
tmean.col	Color used in the legend to represent the monthly average temperature.
from	OPTIONAL, used for extracting a subset of values. Character indicating the starting date for the values to be extracted. It must be provided in the format specified by date.fmt.
to	OPTIONAL, used for extracting a subset of values. Character indicating the ending date for the values to be extracted. It must be provided in the format specified by date.fmt.
date.fmt	Character indicating the format in which the dates are stored in dates, from and to. See format in as.Date. ONLY required when class(dates)=="factor" or class(dates)=="numeric".

######################
## Ex1: Loading the DAILY precipitation, maximum and minimum air temperature at 
##      station Maquehue Temuco Ad (Chile)
data(MaquehueTemuco)
pcp <- MaquehueTemuco[, 1]
tmx <- MaquehueTemuco[, 2]
tmn <- MaquehueTemuco[, 3]

## Plotting the climograph
m <- climograph(pcp=pcp, tmx=tmx, tmn=tmn, na.rm=TRUE)
