Maximum consecutive 5-day precipitation

Description

Maximum consecutive 5-day precipitation

Usage

Rx5day(rst_path, vct = NULL, start_date, end_date, init_month = NULL)

Arguments

rst_path

File path to either:

  • 'GTiff files': Daily raster files that include the date in the file names (e.g., 'ProductX_1989-02-28.tif'). The dates must have the format '%Y-%m-%d'.

  • 'NCDF files': Monthly raster files that contain the daily layers respective for that month. The file name must include the date (e.g., 'ProductX_1989-02.nc'). The dates must have the format '%Y-%m'.

vct

Vector file of the study area (Optional). It will be used to crop the spatial extent of the raster files if required. This parameter is set to 'NULL'.

start_date

Position where the dates of the raster files start. For example, start_date = 10 for 'ProductX_1989-02-28.tif' as the date start in the 10th character.

end_date

Position where the dates of the raster files end. For example, end_date = 19 for 'ProductX_1989-02-28.tif', and end_date = 16 for 'ProductX_1989-02.nc'.

init_month

Numeric value that represents the initial month that will be used in the calculation of the indices for each year (1 = Jan, 2 = Feb, ...., 12 = December). This parameter is set to NULL meaning that if not specified, the year will start in January.

Value

raster layers with the spatial distribution of the maximum 5-day precipitation for each year of analysis.
