plot.year: Plot annual temperature and precipitation statistics

Description

Plots a continuous set of annual temperature and precipitation statistics for a single climate station.

Usage

plot.year(x)

plot.year(x, start, end, id, precip.only = FALSE, maxy, ylim,
          units=c("mm","C"), na.cut = 10, ...)

Arguments

x

a data.frame of climate data

start

starting year; if missing, minimum year will be used

end

ending year; if missing, maximum year will be used

id

unique station identifier used to extract a subset of data from dat

precip.only

only precipitation data is used; rain and snow ignored

maxy

maximum for lower, precipitation graph

ylim

c(min,max) range of temperature for upper graph

units

native units for precipitation and temperature data

na.cut

minimum number of missing data points in a year to make it void; temperature and precipitation are treated independently

...

other arguments passed to .seastitle and .seascols for title style, colours, and other customizations to the appearance

synopsis

plot.year(x, start, end, id, precip.only = FALSE, maxy, ylim, units=c("mm","C"), na.cut = 10, ...)

Details

This simply shows temperature using (boxplots) and annual precipitation totals. The red bars are directly proportional to the fraction of missing (or NA) values for the year; statistics not shown if there are more than na.cut NA values in a given year.
