Season: Computes Seasonal Means

Description

Computes seasonal means on timeseries organized in a matrix of any number of dimensions up to 10 dimensions where the time dimension is one of those 10 dimensions.

Usage

Season(var, posdim = 4, monini, moninf, monsup)

Value

Matrix with the same dimensions as var except along the posdim dimension which length corresponds to the number of seasons. Partial seasons are not accounted for.

Examples

# Load sample data as in Load() example:
example(Load)
leadtimes_dimension <- 4
initial_month <- 11
mean_start_month <- 12
mean_stop_month <- 2
season_means_mod <- Season(sampleData$mod, leadtimes_dimension, initial_month,
                           mean_start_month, mean_stop_month)
season_means_obs <- Season(sampleData$obs, leadtimes_dimension, initial_month,
                           mean_start_month, mean_stop_month)
PlotAno(season_means_mod, season_means_obs, startDates, 
        toptitle = paste('winter (DJF) temperatures'), ytitle = c('K'),
