average_mean_temp: Calculate average variable of extreme events

In geanders/futureheatwaves: Find, Characterize, and Explore Extreme Events in Climate Projections

Description

This function takes a dataframe of extreme events, as created by gen_hw_set, and calculates the average of the variable (e.g., temperature0 during each extreme event across all events in the dataframe.

Usage

average_mean_temp(hw_datafr)

Arguments

hw_datafr

A dataframe of extreme events and their characteristics, as created by gen_hw_set

Value

A numeric value with the average variable during all heat waves for a dataset of heat waves, as generated by gen_hw_set. This value is the mean of the average variable within each event, not the average variable across all event days (to calculate that, you would need to calculate a weighted mean, weighted by the number of days in each heat wave).

Note

This function is an example of a function that can be created and used to explore extreme events using the apply_all_models function.

Examples

data(hw_datafr)
average_mean_temp(hw_datafr)
