esd2ele: Dictionary and conversion tools between esd element...

In metno/esd.test: Climate analysis and empirical-statistical downscaling (ESD) package for monthly and daily data.

Description

Converts between esd element/parameter identifier and names from different data sources.

Usage

ele2param(ele = '101', src = 'GHCND')
esd2ele(param='t2m',src='GHCND',verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

param,ele

Parameter or element identifier. There are several core parameters or elements as well as a number of additional parameters. The parameters or elements are : PARAMETER LONGNAME ELE ID auto Automatic selection. prcp, pr, rr, precip Precipitation (mm) '601' tas, tavg, t2m, t2 2m-surface temperature (in degrees Celcius)'101' tmax, tasmax Maximum temperature (in degrees Celcius) '111' tmin, tasmin Minimum temperature (in degrees Celcius) '121' slp, mslp Mean sea level pressure (hPa) '401' cloud Cloud cover (%) '801' ...

src

A character string for the acronym of the data source. The data sources are : NACD : North Atlantic Climatological Dataset - Monthly NARP : North Atlantic Research Programme ? - Monthly NORDKLIM : Nordic co-operation within climate activities - Monthly GHCNM : Global historical climate network - Monthly ECAD : European Climate Assessement & Dataset- Daily GHCND : Global Historical Climate Network - Daily METNO : MET Norway climate network - Daily

Value

A meta data matrix object with the glossary of the different variables or element identifiers as originally defined by each data source
