dm2seasonal: Daily/Monthly -> Seasonal Values

Description

Generic function for computing a seasonal value for every year of a daily/monthly time series.

Usage

dm2seasonal(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'default':
dm2seasonal(x, season, FUN, na.rm = TRUE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'data.frame':
dm2seasonal(x, season, FUN, na.rm = TRUE, dates, date.fmt = "\%Y-\%m-\%d", 
        out.type = "data.frame", ...)

Arguments

x

zoo, data.frame or matrix object, with daily or monthly time series. Measurements at several gauging stations can be stored in a data.frame of matrix object, and in that case, each column of x represent the time series measured in each gaugi

season

character, indicating the weather season to be used for selecting the data. Valid values are: -) DJF: December, January, February -) MAM: March, April, May -) JJA: June, July, August -) SO

FUN

Function that will be applied to ALL the values of x belonging to the given weather season

na.rm

Logical. Should missing values be removed? -) TRUE : the seasonal values are computed considering only those values different from NA (very important when FUN=sum) -) FALSE: if there is AT LEAST one NA within a

dates

numeric, factor or Date object indicating how to obtain the dates. If dates is a number, it indicates the index of the column in x that stores the dates If dates is a factor, it is converted into Date class, by usi

date.fmt

Character indicating the format in which the dates are stored in dates, e.g. %Y-%m-%d. See format in format.Date. ONLY required when class(dates)=="factor"<

out.type

Character that defines the desired type of output. Valid values are: -) data.frame: a data.frame, with as many columns as stations are included in x, the year corresponding to each seasonal value are used as row names. -) db

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

• A numeric vector with the seasonal values for all the years in which x is defined.

Warning

For any year, the FUN value for the winter season (DJF), is computed considering only January and February, and the value of December is used for computing the winter value of the next year.

Examples

## Loading the SanMartino precipitation data
data(SanMartinoPPts)
x <- SanMartinoPPts

## Winter (DJF) mean values of precipitation for each year of 'x'
dm2seasonal(x, FUN=mean, season="DJF")

############
## Loading the monthly time series of precipitation within the Ebro River basin.
data(EbroPPtsMonthly)

## Winter (DJF) mean values of precipitation for the first 3 stations 
## in 'EbroPPtsMonthly' (its first column stores the dates)
dm2seasonal(EbroPPtsMonthly[,1:4], FUN=mean, season="DJF", dates=1)
