plot_winterir: Plot winter-only intermittent rivers

In messamat/globalIRmap: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)

Description

Utility function: plot discharge time series for GRDC or GSIM gauging stations that have been deemed to monitor winter-only intermittent rivers.

Usage

plot_winterir(dt, dbname, inp_resdir, yearthresh, plotseries = TRUE)

Arguments

dt	formatted data.table (generated in analyzemerge_gaugeir).
dbname	(character) 'GRDC' or 'GSIM". Will determine whether to use plotGRDCtimeseries or plotGSIMtimeseries
inp_resdir	(character) path to directory where to save plots. A directory will be created called " 'winterir_rawplots_o(yearthresh)_(date)'
yearthresh	(integer) minimum year from which to plot discharge record
plotseries	(logical) whether to generate plots

Details

“Winter-only” non-perennial gauging stations were defined as those whose stream record contained less than one zero-flow day per year on average during months with long-term mean air temperature over 10°C (averaged across the local catchment immediately draining to the river reach, according to WorldClim 2). In other words, “winter-only” non-perennial gauging stations were those which would not have qualified as non-perennial according to our criterion if only non-winter months were taken into account.

Value

subset of input dt only including winter-only intermittent irvers
