In bocinsky/guedesbocinsky2018: Research Compendium for d'Alpoim Guedes and Bocinsky (2018)

Description

First, it converts all data to DOY data (366-day-year). Then, it calculates a periodic generalized additive model from the data using cyclic cubic regression splines for smoothing. It then calculates the daily-wise standard deviations of the residuals, and again smooths using the same type of GAM. Optionally, you may plot the results.

Usage

calcDailyMeanSD(daily.data, unwrapped = F, plot = F)

Arguments

daily.data	GHCN data
unwrapped	Whether the data are already unwrapped
plot	Whether to create a polar plot of the climatology.

Value

A list containing the day-of-year, mean, and sd.
