plot.year: Plot annual temperature and precipitation statistics

Description

Plots a continuous set of annual temperature and precipitation statistics for a single climate station.

Usage

plot.year(x)

plot.year(x, start.day=1, precip.only = FALSE, precip.ylim,
          temp.ylim, na.cut = 10, ...)

Arguments

x

a data.frame of climate data

start.day

starting day of annum; either a Date or an integer day of year; this influences the statistics for each year or annum; such as annual precipitation sums

precip.only

only precipitation data is used; rain and snow ignored

precip.ylim

range for precipitation graph

temp.ylim

range for temperature graph

na.cut

minimum number of missing data points in a year to make it void; temperature and precipitation are treated independently

...

ignored

synopsis

plot.year(x, start.day=1, precip.only = FALSE, precip.ylim, temp.ylim, na.cut = 10, ...)

Details

This simply shows temperature using (boxplots) and annual precipitation totals. The red bars are directly proportional to the fraction of missing (or NA) values for the year; statistics not shown if there are more than na.cut NA values in a given year.

                start=as.Date("1975-08-01"),
                end=as.Date("2004-07-31")),
          start.day=as.Date("2000-08-01"))
