criticalduration: Critical duration

In valeriyafilipova/StochasticPQRUT: Functions for Stochastic PQRUT

Description

Extract observed POT (Peak over Threshold) flood events and define the critical duration based on the correlation between a set of flood events over a threshold and the precipitation of the preceding days

Usage

criticalduration(Q, P, qtT = 0.9, PDFplots = TRUE, intEvent = 7,
  writeResults = TRUE)

Arguments

Q	discharge data; dataframe with columns date ("%Y-%m-%d") and Q, if writeResults=TRUE path to csv file with columns date and Q
P	precipitation data; dataframe with columns date and Pr,if writeResults=TRUE path to txt file with columns date and Pr
qtT	threshold quantile for peak over threshold events
PDFplots	if TRUE pdf file with plots is saved in the same directory
intEvent	separation time between flood events in days
pathmain	path to files, not needed if writeResults=FALSE

Value

if writeResults is TRUE the results are saved in the directory pathmain if FALSE a list that contains duration and dataframes that lists the POT for each season is returned

Examples

## Not run: 
 criticalduration(Q="62.5QJ.csv",P="PJ1.txt",qtT=0.9,PDFplots=TRUE,intEvent=7,writeResults=TRUE)
 criticalduration(Q=Qd,PJ=P,qtT=0.9,PDFplots=TRUE,intEvent=7,writeResults=FALSE)

## End(Not run)
