Smoothing: Smoothes An Array Along A Dimension

Description

Smoothes an array of any number of dimensions along one of its dimensions.

Usage

Smoothing(var, runmeanlen = 12, numdimt = 4)

Arguments

var

Array to be smoothed along one of its dimension (typically the forecast time dimension).

runmeanlen

Running mean length in number of sampling units (typically months).

numdimt

Dimension to smooth.

Value

Array with same the dimensions as 'var' but smoothed along the 'numdimt'-th dimension.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Load sample data as in Load() example:
example(Load)
clim <- Clim(sampleData$mod, sampleData$obs)
ano_exp <- Ano(sampleData$mod, clim$clim_exp)
ano_obs <- Ano(sampleData$obs, clim$clim_obs)
runmean_months <- 12
dim_to_smooth <- 4  # Smooth along lead-times
smooth_ano_exp <- Smoothing(ano_exp, runmean_months, dim_to_smooth)
smooth_ano_obs <- Smoothing(ano_obs, runmean_months, dim_to_smooth)
 
# }
# NOT RUN {
PlotAno(smooth_ano_exp, smooth_ano_obs, startDates, 
       toptitle = "Smoothed Mediterranean mean SST", ytitle = "K",
       fileout = "tos_smoothed_ano.eps")
 
# }
