In andrew-MET/harpPoint: Point verifition for NWP forecasts

Scale forecast data

Description

If you wish to scale the forecast values, for example when temperature data are in Kelvin and you want them in degrees C, this function can be used to scale the data.

Usage

scale_point_forecast(
  .fcst,
  scale_factor,
  new_units = NULL,
  multiplicative = FALSE
)

Arguments

.fcst	A harp_fcst object as read in by read_point_forecast from harpIO.
scale_factor	The scaling factor.
new_units	The name of the new units - if set to NULL, the name is not changed.
multiplicative	If the scaling is to be done multiplicatively, i.e. the new forecast value is to be the old value * scale_factor, set multiplicative to TRUE. The defualt (multiplicative = FALSE) is to do the scaling additively, i.e. the new forecast value is the old value + scale_factor.

Value

A harp_fcst object with forecast values scaled by scale_factor.
