get_air: Get Surface Irradiance & Air Temperature

In Jack-H-Laverick/MiMeMo.tools: Tools for extracting data for StrathE2E, during MiMeMo

Get Surface Irradiance & Air Temperature

Description

This function reads either title variable from a NEMO-MEDUSA model DRIVERS file, and returns a monthly time series.

Usage

get_air(File, Type, Year)

Arguments

File	The location of the netcdf file containing NEMO-MEDUSA driving data.
Type	The variable contained in the netcdf file either "T150" (air temperature) or "SWF" (surface irradiance).
Year	The year the necdf file contains data for.

Details

The appropriate variable in the netcdf file is imported according to the 'Type' parameter, only reading within an x/y window specified in 'Space'. The function then drops points outside the model domain before constructing the monthly time series.

Unlike other NEMO-MEDUSA related get_* functions, this function constructs the monthly time series directly. A wrapper function to handle time isn't required, as each netcdf file for driving data contains 360 day steps for a single year. 'stratify' also isn't called, as these variables have no depth dimension.

Value

A dataframe containing a monthly time series within a year of either average air temperature or surface irradiance. Air temperature is also split by shore zone.
