compare_country: Compares the Given Country Names with the Determined Country...

In mcmventura/stlocationqc: C3S Quality Control of Meteorological Stations Location

Description

Compares the given country names with the names assigned by the function get_country, get_country_shoreline or get_sea.

Usage

compare_country(countries_gv = NULL, countries, countries_sh = NULL, seas =
NULL, miss_seas = NULL, excl_coords = NULL)

Arguments

countries_gv	data frame with the coordinates and the given country names lon | lat | country_gv.
countries	data frame output of get_country.
countries_sh	data frame output of get_country_shoreline.
seas	data frame output of get_sea.
miss_seas	data frame output of get_sea.
excl_coords	data frame output of get_lon180 or test_geocoord.

Details

Input:

• A data frame with the coordinates and the given country names or a text file without header, the longitude in the first column, the latitude in the second column, both in decimal degrees. The given country name goes in the third column. The columns are separated by tabs and missing values must be codified as 'NA' in all fields.

• The output of get_country - 'countries' -, get_country_shoreline - 'countries_sh' -, get_sea - 'seas' and 'miss_seas' - and get_lon180 or test_geocoord - 'excl_coords'. However, only the 'countries' data frame is compulsory because all those data frames may not exist.

Output:

• Several text files, until the maximum of 9, which have the following header: country_gv |id | lon | lat | country | sovereignt | adm0_a3 | name_de | name_es | name_fr | name_pt. Those files split the list of points by types of differences between the given and the determinated country name:

  • Missing given or determined country name

  • Equal country name

  • Given country name equals to sovereignty

  • Given country name in another language

  • Given country name in upper case

  • Given country name with some equal words - English or another language

  • Set of 3 letters equals at the beginning or at the end of the words

  • Points that fall into the sea

  • Different country name

Examples

## Not run: 
##
## First run
test_geocoord(coords = eraclim_uao_fp)
## Then run sequentially until all points have names assigned
get_country(icoords = coords_ok)
get_country_shoreline(icoords = miss_countries, tol)
get_sea(icoords = miss_countries_sh)
## And finally
compare_country(countries_gv = eraclim_uao_fp, countries = countries,
countries_sh = countries_sh, seas = seas, miss_seas = miss_seas, excl_coords
= excl_coords)

## End(Not run)
