rvn_annual_volume: Annual Volume Comparison

Description

Creates a plot of the annual observed and simulated volumes.

Usage

rvn_annual_volume(
  sim,
  obs,
  mm = 9,
  dd = 30,
  add_line = TRUE,
  add_r2 = FALSE,
  add_eqn = FALSE,
  add_labels = FALSE
)

Value

returns a list with annual volume data in a data frame, and a ggplot object

df_volume

data frame of the calculated annual volumes

p1

ggplot object with plotted annual volumes

Arguments

sim

time series object of simulated flows

obs

time series object of observed flows

mm

month of water year ending (default 9)

dd

day of water year ending (default 30)

add_line

optionally adds a 1:1 line to the plot for reference (default TRUE)

add_r2

optionally computes the R2 and adds to plot (default FALSE)

add_eqn

optionally adds the equation for a linear regression line through the origin (default FALSE)

add_labels

optionally adds year-ending labels to each point on plot using geom_text (default FALSE)

Details

Creates a scatterplot of the annual observed and simulated volumes, calculated for each available water year of data within the two series provided. The sim and obs should be of time series (xts) format and are assumed to be of the same length and time period. Note that missing values in the observed series will impact the volume estimation, and it is recommended that the NA values are filled in prior to use of this function.

The R2 diagnostic is calculated for a fit with no intercept (in a perfect fit the points are identical, and intercept is automatically zero).

Note that a plot title is purposely omitted in order to allow the automatic generation of plot titles.

Examples

# load sample hydrograph data, two years worth of sim/obs
data(rvn_hydrograph_data)
sim <- rvn_hydrograph_data$hyd$Sub36
obs <- rvn_hydrograph_data$hyd$Sub36_obs

# create a plot of the annual volumes with defaults
rvn_annual_volume(sim,obs)

# create a plot of the annual volumes with r2
rvn_annual_volume(sim,obs,add_r2=TRUE, add_eqn=TRUE)

# create a plot of the annual volumes with year-ending labels
rvn_annual_volume(sim,obs, add_labels=TRUE)

# calculate annual volumes for different water years (e.g. ending Oct 31)
vv <- rvn_annual_volume(sim, obs, mm=10, dd=31)
vv$df.volume
vv$p1
