nwetdays {RGENERATEPREC}R Documentation

It calculates the number of wet days for each month and each year

Description

It calculates the number of wet days for each month and each year

Usage

nwetdays(data, valmin = 0.5, origin = "1961-1-1", station = names(data))

Arguments

data

data frame R object containing daily precipitation time series for several gauges (one gauge time series per column).

valmin

threshold precipitation value [mm] for wet/dry day indicator.

origin

character string "yyyy-mm-dd" indicated the date of the first row of "data".

station

character string indicating the stations. Default is names(data)

Value

Function returns a list of data frames containing the spell length expressed in days

Examples

 


data(trentino)

year_min <- 1961
year_max <- 1990

period <- PRECIPITATION$year>=year_min & PRECIPITATION$year<=year_max
station <- names(PRECIPITATION)[!(names(PRECIPITATION) %in% c("day","month","year"))]
prec_mes <- PRECIPITATION[period,station]  

## removing nonworking stations (e.g. time series with NA)
accepted <- array(TRUE,length(names(prec_mes)))
names(accepted) <- names(prec_mes)
for (it in names(prec_mes)) {
		 accepted[it]  <- (length(which(!is.na(prec_mes[,it])))==length(prec_mes[,it]))
}

prec_mes <- prec_mes[,accepted]
## the dateset is reduced!!! 
prec_mes <- prec_mes[,1:3]

origin <- paste(year_min,1,1,sep="-")

nwetdays <- nwetdays(prec_mes,origin)
