CSLS_format_weather: Given CSLS data, format "weather" input parameter

In WDNR-Water-Use/CSLSevap: Evapo(transpi)ration Calculations

Description

Takes hourly weather data, summarizes as daily weather data, and re-formats for input to lake evaporation functions

Usage

CSLS_format_weather(weather, wind_elev = 3, z0 = 0.02)

Arguments

weather	a data frame with hourly weather data incl. air temperature (atmp), relative humidity (RH), incoming solar radiation (Rs), precipitation (P), and wind speed (wind).
wind_elev	height at which wind is measured (m), default: 3
z0	aerodynamic roughness of weather measurement site (m), default: 0.02

Value

weather a list with weather data that includes:

dt	string indicating the timestep of input weather series. Expects "hourly", "daily", or "monthly".
datetimes	datetimes of weather records POSIXct. If monthly timestep, make sure date is the 15th of each month.
atmp	If hourly timestep, vector of air temperature (degrees C) corresponding with datetimes vector. If daily or monthly timestep, list with two vectors, "min" and "max", with mean daily min and max air temperature (degrees C) corresponding with datetimes vector
RH	If hourly timestep, vector of relative humidity (percent) corresponding with datetimes vector. If daily or monthly timestep, list with two vectors, "min" and "max", with mean daily min and max relative humidity (percent) corresponding with datetimes vector.
Rs	vector of incoming solar or shortwave radiation (MJ/m^2/hr if hourly timestep, MG/m^2/day if daily or monthly), corresponding with datetimes vector.
wind	vector with mean wind speed (m/s), corresponding with datetimes vector.
wind_elev	atomic number, height at which wind is measured (m)
z0	aerodynamic roughness of weather measurement site (m)
