Smoothing: Smoothes A Matrix Along A Dimension

Description

Smoothes a matrix of any number of dimensions up to 10 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

# 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)
PlotAno(smooth_ano_exp, smooth_ano_obs, startDates, 
        toptitle = "Smoothed Mediterranean mean SST", ytitle = "K",
        fileout = "tos_smoothed_ano.eps")
