plot.stationComp: Plot a comparison of GHCN weather stations

In EcotopeResearch/rterm: Temperature-Energy Regression Models for Building Energy Use Data

Plot a comparison of GHCN weather stations

Description

Plot a comparison of weather stations returned by stationCompare

Usage

## S3 method for class 'stationComp'
plot(sc, days = 14, var = "aveTemp",
  type = "actual", xvar = "date")

Arguments

sc	stationComp object as returned by stationCompare
days	The number of days for the rolling average. Optional, defaults to 14.
var	The variable to plot. Optional, defaults to "aveTemp". Can also be "tmin" or "tmax". See read.ghcn
type	The type of view, can be "actual" or "relative". "actual" will plot the recorded temperatures, while "relative" will plot the temperatures with reference to the mean temperature. "relative" tends to be more useful in visualizing the differences between stations. This argument is optional and defaults to "relative".
xvar	What variable to plot against. Defaults to "date" but can also be "doy" - day of year. "date" gives a long rolling line, while "doy" gives multiple lines on top of each other per station.

Value

a ggplot object of the graphic

# Compare 5 closest weather stations to Ecotope's Seattle office
stations <- stationSearch("Seattle")
comp <- stationCompare(stations, "2014-01-01", "2014-12-31")
plot(comp)
plot(comp, "days" = 60)
plot(comp, var = "tmin", type = "actual")
