sim_phen: Simulate Phenology

In mespe/phenR: phenR

Description

Simulate phenology event

Usage

sim_phen(start, tmin, tmax, target_hu, meas_error = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

start	a integer vector of start indices. The start index must coincide with the Tmin and Tmax values. For example, if Tmin and Tmax are provided for then entire year and the desired start date is Apr 3rd, the day of year should be provided (94).However, if the first temperature values are for Apr 1st, the desired start index would be 3.
tmin	Minimum daily temperature
tmax	Maximum daily temperature
target_hu	The target heat units (i.e., the accumulated heat units after which the event occurs).
meas_error	logical, should measurement error (+/- 2 days) be added to the results? (Note: for reproducibility, the set.seed should be used if adding this to simulations.)
...	Additional arguments passed to heat_units()

Details

This function simulates a phenology event given Tmin and Tmax values, a start (in index value of Tmin/Tmax) and a target heat unit. The event is considered to occur when the heat units exceed the target.

Value

a vector of event indexes, corresponding to the indices for the temperature data.
