T_rateofchange: A Function characterizes rate of change of stream temperature

In tsangyp/StreamThermal: Calculating metrics that characterize stream thermal regime

Description

This function cacluate metrics that characterize rate of change of stream temperature

Usage

T_rateofchange(sitedata, TlengthPortion = 2/3, SeasonSp = c(3, 4, 5),
  SeasonSu = c(6, 7, 8), SeasonFa = c(9, 10, 11), SeasonWi = c(12, 1, 2))

Arguments

sitedata	stream monitoring site data in SiteID, Date(in as.Date format), MaxT, MinT, MeanT.
TlengthPortion	portion of length that required for calculating metric summaries, defaulty=2/3
SeasonSp	define spring season, default as March, April, and May, c(3,4,5)
SeasonSu	define summer season, default as June, July, August, c(6,7,8)
SeasonFa	define fall season, default as September, October, November, c(9,10,11)
SeasonWi	define winter season, default as December, Januray, February, c(12,1,2)

Examples

install.packages("dataRetrieval")
library(dataRetrieval)
ExUSGSStreamTemp<-readNWISdv("01382310","00010","2011-01-01","2011-12-31",c("00001","00002","00003"))
sitedata<-subset(ExUSGSStreamTemp, select=c("site_no","Date","X_00010_00001","X_00010_00002","X_00010_00003"))
names(sitedata)<-c("siteID","Date","MaxT","MinT","MeanT")
T_rateofchange(sitedata)
