RCMIP5 (version 1.1)

checkTimePeriod: Check for continuous time periods in CMIP5 files

Description

Check that all time periods are continuous and present for multi-file ensembles. Before starting to process what may be hundreds or thousands of CMIP5 files, it's a good idea to verify that your file set is complete and not missing any years.

Usage

checkTimePeriod(fileInfo_df)

Arguments

fileInfo_df

data.frame from getFileInfo

Value

A data frame showing which ensembles are continuous, and which are not. In addition to standard identifying fields in the data frame (domain, model, experiment, variable, and ensemble), this includes:

yrStr

A concatenation of time strings for all ensembles

allHere

a quick check for yr and mon frequency

startDate

Earliest (decimal) date for the ensemble

endDate

Latest (decimal) date for the ensemble

file

The number of files in the ensemble

Details

This function calls getFileInfo to scan a directory tree, and then examines the time data in these filenames. These time signatures will be concatenated and an 'allHere' flag returned.
