Smoothing: Smoothes An Array Along A Dimension

In s2dverification: Set of Common Tools for Forecast Verification

Smoothes An Array Along A Dimension

Description

Smoothes an array of any number of dimensions along one of its dimensions.

Usage

Smoothing(var, runmeanlen = 12, numdimt = 4)

Arguments

var	Array to be smoothed along one of its dimension (typically the forecast time dimension).
runmeanlen	Running mean length in number of sampling units (typically months).
numdimt	Dimension to smooth.

Value

Array with same the dimensions as 'var' but smoothed along the 'numdimt'-th dimension.

0.1 - 2011-03 (V. Guemas) - Original code
1.0 - 2013-09 (N. Manubens) - Formatting to R CRAN
1.1 - 2015-05 (N. Manubens) - Adding security checks, fixing computation in cases where runmeanlen is odd and making it able to work on arrays of any number of dimensions.

Examples

# Load sample data as in Load() example:
example(Load)
clim <- Clim(sampleData$mod, sampleData$obs)
ano_exp <- Ano(sampleData$mod, clim$clim_exp)
ano_obs <- Ano(sampleData$obs, clim$clim_obs)
runmean_months <- 12
dim_to_smooth <- 4  # Smooth along lead-times
smooth_ano_exp <- Smoothing(ano_exp, runmean_months, dim_to_smooth)
smooth_ano_obs <- Smoothing(ano_obs, runmean_months, dim_to_smooth)
 
PlotAno(smooth_ano_exp, smooth_ano_obs, startDates, 
       toptitle = "Smoothed Mediterranean mean SST", ytitle = "K",
       fileout = "tos_smoothed_ano.eps")
