AnimateMap: Animate Maps of Forecast/Observed Values or Scores Over Forecast Time

Description

Create animations of maps in an equi-rectangular or stereographic projection, showing the anomalies, the climatologies, the mean InterQuartile Range, Maximum-Mininum, Standard Deviation, Median Absolute Deviation, the trends, the RMSE, the correlation or the RMSSS, between modelled and observed data along the forecast time (lead-time) for all input experiments and input observational datasets.

Usage

AnimateMap(var, lon, lat, toptitle = rep("", 11), sizetit = 1, units = "",
  monini = 1, freq = 12, msk95lev = FALSE, brks = NULL, cols = NULL,
  filled.continents = FALSE, lonmin = 0, lonmax = 360, latmin = -90,
  latmax = 90, intlon = 20, intlat = 30, drawleg = TRUE,
  subsampleg = 1, colNA = "white", equi = TRUE,
  fileout = c("output1_animvsltime.gif", "output2_animvsltime.gif",
  "output3_animvsltime.gif"), ...)

Arguments

var

Matrix of dimensions (nltime, nlat, nlon) or (nexp/nmod, nltime, nlat, nlon) or (nexp/nmod, 3/4, nltime, nlat, nlon) or (nexp/nmod, nobs, 3/4, nltime, nlat, nlon).

lon

Vector containing longtitudes (degrees).

lat

Vector containing latitudes (degrees).

toptitle

c('','', …) array of main title for each animation, optional. If RMS, RMSSS, correlations: first exp with successive obs, then second exp with successive obs, etc ...

sizetit

Multiplicative factor to increase title size, optional.

units

Units, optional.

monini

Starting month between 1 and 12. Default = 1.

freq

1 = yearly, 12 = monthly, 4 = seasonal ...

msk95lev

TRUE/FALSE grid points with dots if 95% significance level reached. Default = FALSE.

brks

Limits of colour levels, optional. For example: seq(min(var), max(var), (max(var) - min(var)) / 10).

cols

Vector of colours of length(brks) - 1, optional.

filled.continents

Continents filled in grey (TRUE) or represented by a black line (FALSE). Default = TRUE. Filling unavailable if crossing Greenwich and equi = TRUE. Filling unavailable if square = FALSE and equi = TRUE.

lonmin

Westward limit of the domain to plot (> 0 or < 0). Default : 0 degrees.

lonmax

Eastward limit of the domain to plot (> 0 or < 0). lonmax > lonmin. Default : 360 degrees.

latmin

Southward limit of the domain to plot. Default : -90 degrees.

latmax

Northward limit of the domain to plot. Default : 90 degrees.

intlon

Interval between longitude ticks on x-axis. Default = 20 degrees.

intlat

Interval between latitude ticks on y-axis for equi = TRUE or between latitude circles for equi = FALSE. Default = 30 degrees.

drawleg

Draw a colorbar. Can be FALSE only if square = FALSE or equi = FALSE. Default = TRUE.

subsampleg

Supsampling factor of the interval between ticks on colorbar. Default = 1 = every colour level.

colNA

Color used to represent NA. Default = 'white'.

equi

TRUE/FALSE == cylindrical equidistant/stereographic projection. Default: TRUE.

fileout

c('', '', …) array of output file name for each animation. If RMS, RMSSS, correlations : first exp with successive obs, then second exp with successive obs, etc ...

Details

Examples of input:

1. Outputs from clim (exp, obs, memb = FALSE): (nmod, nltime, nlat, nlon) or (nobs, nltime, nlat, nlon)

2. Model output from load/ano/smoothing: (nmod, nmemb, sdate, nltime, nlat, nlon) then passed through spread(var, posdim = 2, narm = TRUE) & mean1dim(var, posdim = 3, narm = TRUE) or through trend(mean1dim(var, 2), posTR = 2): (nmod, 3, nltime, nlat, nlon) animates average along start dates of IQR/MaxMin/SD/MAD across members or trends of the ensemble-mean computed accross the start dates.

3. model and observed output from load/ano/smoothing: (nmod, nmemb, sdate, nltime, nlat, nlon) & (nobs, nmemb, sdate, nltime, nlat, nlon) then averaged along members mean1dim(var_exp/var_obs, posdim = 2): (nmod, sdate, nltime, nlat, nlon) (nobs, sdate, nltime, nlat, nlon) then passed through corr(exp, obs, posloop = 1, poscor = 2) or RMS(exp, obs, posloop = 1, posRMS = 2): (nmod, nobs, 3, nltime, nlat, nlon) animates correlations or RMS between each exp & each obs against leadtime.
