query_caladapt: Query Cal-Adapt data

In kdybala/rcaladapt: Access climate data from Cal-Adapt

Description

Query Cal-Adapt data

Usage

query_caladapt(var, model, scenario, coords, type = "events",
  timestep = "year", stat = "mean",
  url = "http://api.cal-adapt.org/api/series/")

Arguments

var	Name of the variable
model	Name of the climate model
scenario	Name of the climate scenario (RCP): 'rcp45' or 'rcp85'
coords	Coordinates of the location for which data is desired
type	Return data ('events') or 'rasters'
timestep	Annual ('year'), monthly, or daily data
stat	Stat desired; defaults to 'mean'; unclear what other options are
url	Cal-Adapt API URL; defaults to 'http://api.cal-adapt.org/api/series/'

Details

Options for variables include 'tasmax' and 'tasmin' (max and min temperatures) or 'pr' (precipitation). Note that precipitation is returned in units of inches per day (even for timestep = 'year'), so will need to be multiplied by 365 to generate annual totals. The full list of available models and additional variables are provided at https://berkeley-gif.github.io/caladapt-docs/data-catalog.html#climate-variables. But note that only annual average tasmin, tasmax, and pr have been checked against Cal-Adapt website outputs to date.

Coordinates should be provided as a string in decimal degrees separated only by a comma: 'long,lat'

Value

For type = 'events', returns a tibble. Untested for type = 'rasters'.

Examples

query_caladapt(var = 'pr', scenario = 'rcp45', model = 'HadGEM2-ES', coords = '-122.545886,38.248392')
