Description

Calculate climate variables required to estimate percent cheatgrass cover in North America

Usage

sw_Cheatgrass_ClimVar(
  monthlyPPT_cm,
  monthlyTempMean_C = NULL,
  monthlyTempMin_C = NULL
)

Arguments

monthlyPPT_cm

A numeric matrix of monthly precipitation values in centimeter. There are 12 rows, one for each month of the year; and there is one column for each year.

monthlyTempMean_C

A numeric matrix of monthly mean temperature values in degree Celsius. There are 12 rows, one for each month of the year; and there is one column for each year.

monthlyTempMin_C

A numeric matrix of monthly minimum temperature value sin degree Celsius. There are 12 rows, one for each month of the year; and there is one column for each year.

Value

A named numeric vector of length 6 with mean and standard deviation for Month7th_PPT_mm, MeanTemp_ofDriestQuarter_C, and MinTemp_of2ndMonth_C.

Note

This function does not correct for northern/southern hemisphere.
