MeteorologyInterpolationData-class: Class "MeteorologyInterpolationData"

Description

An S4 class to interpolate meteorology over a landscape.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("MeteorologyInterpolationData", ...), or by calls to the function MeteorologyInterpolationData.

Slots

dates:

Object of class "Date" describing the time period for which meteorological estimates are possible.

bbox:

Object of class "matrix" with the boundary box that sets meteorological estimation boundaries.

proj4string:

Object of class "CRS" with the projection string of station spatial coordinates.

coords:

Object of class "matrix" containing the coordinates of weather stations (each row is a point).

elevation:

A numeric vector with elevation values of weather stations (in meters).

slope:

A numeric vector with slope values of weather stations (in degrees). Needed for cross-validation only.

aspect:

A numeric vector with aspect values of weather stations (in degrees from North). Needed for cross-validation only.

MinTemperature:

Object of class "data.frame" with minimum temperature recordings (in degrees Celsius) for all weather stations (in rows) and all days (in columns).

MaxTemperature:

Object of class "data.frame" with maximum temperature recordings (in degrees Celsius) for all weather stations (in rows) and all days (in columns).

SmoothedTemperatureRange:

Object of class "matrix" with temporally smoothed temperature range recordings (in degrees Celsius) for all weather stations (in rows) and all days (in columns).

Precipitation:

Object of class "matrix" with precipitation recordings (in mm of water) for all weather stations (in rows) and all days (in columns).

SmoothedPrecipitation:

Object of class "matrix" with temporally smoothed precipitation recordings (in mm of water) for all weather stations (in rows) and all days (in columns).

RelativeHumidity:

Object of class matrix with relative humidity recordings (in percent) for all weather stations (in rows) and all days (in columns).

Radiation:

Object of class matrix with relative radiation recordings (in MJ/m2) for all weather stations (in rows) and all days (in columns). Needed for cross-validation only.

WindSpeed:

Object of class "matrix" with wind speed recordings (in m/s) for all weather stations (in rows) and all days (in columns).

WindDirection:

Object of class "matrix" with wind direction recordings (in degrees from North) for all weather stations (in rows) and all days (in columns).

WindFields:

Object of class "list". See function readWindNinjaWindFields.

WFIndex:

Object of class "matrix" with the closest windfield index for each stations in each day.

WFFactor:

Object of class "matrix" with the multiplication factor for the wind speed of each stations in each day.

params:

A "list" containing interpolation parameters.
