year.plot: Plot annual temperature and precipitation statistics

In seas: Seasonal Analysis and Graphics, Especially for Climatology

Plot annual temperature and precipitation statistics

Description

Plots a continuous set of annual temperature and precipitation statistics for a single climate station.

Usage

year.plot(x, start.day = 1, precip.only = FALSE, precip.ylim,
          temp.ylim, na.cut = 10, ...)

Arguments

x	a data.frame of climate data
start.day	starting day of annum; either a Date or an integer day of year; this influences the statistics for each year or annum; such as annual precipitation sums
precip.only	only precipitation data is used; rain and snow ignored
precip.ylim	range for precipitation graph
temp.ylim	range for temperature graph
na.cut	minimum number of missing data points in a year to make it void; temperature and precipitation are treated independently
...	ignored

Details

This simply shows temperature using (boxplots) and annual precipitation totals. The red bars are directly proportional to the fraction of missing (or NA) values for the year; statistics not shown if there are more than na.cut NA values in a given year.

Note

This function was formerly named plot.year, but required renaming as it is not an S3 method.
