plot.seas.temp: Plot seasonal temperature normals

Description

Plot seasonal temperature normals using boxplots, and also plot seasonal diurnal variability between minimum and maximum temperature.

Usage

plot.seas.temp(x)

plot.seas.temp(x, start, end, width=11, id,
               names=c("min_t","max_t","mean_t"),
               unit="C", add.alt=FALSE, ylim, ...)

Arguments

x

data.frame of climate data

start

start year; if omitted minimum year will be used

end

end year; if omitted will use same as start, and if start is omitted, will use maximum year

width

size of bin; see mkfact

id

unique station identifier used to extract a subset of data from x

names

array specifying the names of the columns in x which relate to the minimum, maximum and mean temperatures

unit

native temperature units of the data; one of either C, F or K

add.alt

logical; add an alternative scale: if unit is C, the alternative is F; if unit is F, the alternative is C; and if unit is K, the alternative is C

ylim

c(min,max) range for y-axis

...

other arguments passed to .seastitle and .seascols for title style, colours, and other customizations to the appearance

Value

• Returns values from boxplot statistics on mean temperature.

synopsis

plot.seas.temp(x, start, end, width=11, id, names=c("min_t","max_t","mean_t"), unit="C", add.alt=FALSE, ylim, ...)

Details

Plots boxplots for seasonal temperature normals from mean daily temperature, and diurnal variability with the mean difference of daily minimum and maximum temperatures (red vertical lines).
