In SantanderMetGroup/visualizeR: Visualizing climate4R data and Communicating Uncertainty in Seasonal Climate Prediction

Tercile map for visualization of forecast skill of seasonal climate predictions.

Description

Tercile map for the visualization of forecast skill of seasonal climate predictions. This function is prepared to plot the data sets loaded from the ECOMS User Data Gateway (ECOMS-UDG). See the loadeR.ECOMS R package for more details (http://meteo.unican.es/trac/wiki/udg/ecoms/RPackage).

Usage

tercileMap(hindcast, forecast, ...)

Arguments

hindcast	A multi-member list with the hindcast for verification. See details.
forecast	A multi-member list with the forecasts. Default is NULL.
...	Optional arguments passed to spatialPlot

Details

The function applies the spatialPlot function, that in turn uses lattice-methods.

Value

A lattice plot of class “trellis”.

Note

The function is based on the tercile maps delivered by C3S seasonal forecasts (http://climate.copernicus.eu/s/charts/c3s_seasonal/).

Many different aspects of the plot can be controlled passing the relevant arguments to spplot.

library(transformeR)
hindcast <- subsetGrid(CFS_Iberia_tas, years = 1983:2001)
forecast <- subsetGrid(CFS_Iberia_tas, years = 2002)
tercileMap(hindcast, forecast)
