asmrFuture: Calculate future ASMR

In bcgov/forestDroughtTool: Predict Forest Drought Hazard In British Columbia

Description

This function will adjust observed daily data for future periods.

Usage

asmrFuture(stnData, bgc)

Arguments

stnData	climate station data
bgc	corresponding BGC variant for stnData (e.g., "SBSmk1)

Details

The function uses the following approach:

We use the normal (1961-1990) monthly data from ClimateBC (see ?bgcClim) to establish a baseline climate for a given BGC unit. The difference between normal period data and future data is calculated, and then and the difference, expressed in percentage for precipitation and degrees for temperatures, is then applied to the daily data for a given climate station.

Future scenarios are calculated for three scenarios:

• RCP 4.5

• RCP 8.5

• Mean of RCP 4.5 and 8.5

and three time periods:

• 2025

• 2055

• 2085

Input:

Examples
