Description

Displays a state or multi-state map summarizing flood analysis results either by gage or county for each individual date with data.

Usage

1
time_series_map(flood_stats, category = "minor", filename = "")

Arguments

flood_stats

Either a data frame of flood analysis results, by gage or by county, or a list of both data frames.

category

Character string of the flood magnitude category to be used for mapping (one of "minor", "moderate", "major", or "extreme"). This parameter only works when mapping county-level, rather than gage-level, values.

filename

Character string of the file path and beginning of name of where to save the individual images generated. For example, "C:/Desktop/TX" would produce image files saved as "TX_Gage_Map_Date.png" or "TX_County_Map_Date.png" where "Date" is replaced by the actual date. If no filename is provided, the images aren't saved but are displayed in the plot viewer.

Value

For each date with data, a map of the state(s) analyzed showing counties and gages color coded based on flood magnitude, depending on the type of data in flood_stats. Gage flood thresholds are "None" (flood_ratio < 1), "Minor" (flood_ratio < 1.5), "Moderate" (flood_ratio < 2), "Major" (flood_ratio < 5), and "Extreme" (flood_ratio > 5). For county aggregate maps, flood exposure is assessed based on the percentage of gages in the county at or above a specified flood threshold. Exposure categories include "Low" (0 (20 (80
