IDheatwaves

Numeric string with threshold temperature used in
the heat wave definition, in degrees Fahrenheit.

threshold

A dataframe with daily temperature projections in the
the city being processed. This dataframe must have two columns:
(1) the first column must have the date of each observation, with
class "Date" and; (2) the second column must have temperatures
in degrees Fahrenheit. In the normal running of this package, this
dataframe will be generated by the closure created by
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/createCityProcessor?package=futureheatwaves&version=1.0.3" data-mini-rdoc="futureheatwaves::createCityProcessor">createCityProcessor</a></code>.

datafr

An list object created by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/gen_hw_set?package=futureheatwaves&version=1.0.3" data-mini-rdoc="futureheatwaves::gen_hw_set">gen_hw_set</a></code> that
includes user specifications (e.g., the path to the output directory, the
path to the input climate projections, the dataframe with city
locations).

global

An list object created by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/gen_hw_set?package=futureheatwaves&version=1.0.3" data-mini-rdoc="futureheatwaves::gen_hw_set">gen_hw_set</a></code> that
includes user specifications (e.g., the name of the R function to
use to identify heat waves, alternative upper and lower year boundaries
for the data used to determine threshold temperatures for the heat wave
definition, alternative upper and lower year boundaries
for the projection period of the heat wave datasets being generated).

custom


This function takes a dataframe with columns for date and projected
temperature and adds columns identifying which days belong to a
heat wave and giving separate numbers to identify each discrete heat wave.


Inputs a directory of climate projection files and, for each,
identifies and characterizes heat waves for specified study locations. The
definition used to identify heat waves can be customized. Heat wave
characterizations include several metrics of heat wave length, intensity,
and timing in the year. The heat waves that are identified can be
explored using a function to apply user-created functions across all
generated heat wave files.This work was supported in part by grants from
