calmet_define_geophys(location_name, lat_dec_deg = NULL, lon_dec_deg = NULL,
  lat_lon_grid_loc = 1, domain_width_m = NULL, domain_height_m = NULL,
  cell_resolution_m = 250, four_seasons = TRUE,
  four_season_breaks = c("03-15", "05-31", "08-31", "11-15"),
  LU_method = "MODIS_Global", shapefile_dir = NULL)

Arguments

location_name

an assigned name for the CALMET domain.

lat_dec_deg

the latitude of the CALMET domain in decimal degrees. The location of this point is defined in the lat_lon_grid_loc argument.

lon_dec_deg

the longitude of the CALMET domain in decimal degrees. The location of this point is defined in the lat_lon_grid_loc argument.

lat_lon_grid_loc

the location of the lat/long inputs in relation to the domain. Choices are: 1 (center), 2 (lower left), 3 (lower right), 4 (upper left), 5 (upper right).

domain_width_m

the desired width of the meteorological domain in meters.

domain_height_m

the desired height of the meteorological domain in meters.

cell_resolution_m

the desired cell resolution in meters.

four_seasons

an option for whether to split the generated GEO.DAT into four separate files, one for each of four seasons.

four_season_breaks

a character vector (in the format MM-DD) that specifies when the different seasons are to transition to the next.

LU_method

the method for obtaining CALMET land use codes for the selected domain; current options are (1) "MODIS_Global" and (2) "BTM_BC" (a method specific to the province of British Columbia in Canada, and, requires a local copy of the BC BTM V1 shapefile).

shapefile_dir

if the chosen 'LU_method' requires the use of a local shapefile (currently, the "BTM_BC" uses shapefile data), supply the relative or absolute path to the shapefile here.
