calc.storm: Function to create a storm plot.

In coffeemuggler/RCHILD: Functions for flexible use of the landscape evolution model CHILD

Description

This function creates a time series of storm-derived rainfall intensity [mm/hour] and returns a list object with the vectors time and intensity. The parameter interval allows to create output for a subset of the entire time series. Plot output is enabled by default.

Usage

calc.storm(dataset, interval, plot = TRUE)

Arguments

dataset	(S4-object) CHILD model run output data set.
interval	(numerical scalar) Optional time interval to evaluate. If specified, the vector must contain two elements: start and end time, values in hours.
plot	Optional plot output, default is TRUE.

Value

A list object

time	Numeric vector of time [hours]
intensity	Numeric vector of rainfall intensity
