modCalibrator

Description

Calibrates weather generator models specified using modelTag.

Usage

modCalibrator(obs = NULL, modelTag = NULL, window = NULL)

Arguments

obs

A dataframe of observed climate data in the form Year Month Day P Temp.

modelTag

A character vector of which stochastic models to use to create each climate variable. Supported tags are shown in under details below.

window

moving average window to calibrate daily gamma parameters for the modelTag "P-har-WGEN".

Details

modelTag provides the main function with requested models. modelTag is vector of any of the following supported models:

• "P-ann-wgen" a four parameter annual rainfall model

• "P-seas-wgen" a 16 parameter seasonal rainfall model (phase angles must be specified via modelInfoMod=list("P-har12-wgen-FS"=fixedPars=c(x,x,x,x))

• "P-har-wgen" a harmonic rainfall model

• "Temp-har-wgen" a harmonic temperature model not conditional on rainfall

• "Temp-har-wgen-wd" a harmonic temperature model dependent on wet or dry day

• "Temp-har-wgen-wdsd" a harmonic temperature model where standard deviation parameters are dependent on wet or dry day

• "PET-har-wgen"a harmonic potential evapotranspiration model

• "PET-har-wgen-wd" a harmonic potential evapotranspiration model dependent on wet or dry day

• "Radn-har-wgen" a harmonic solar radiation model (MJ/m2)

Examples

data(tankDat)                               #Load tank data (tank_obs)
modelTag=c("P-ann-wgen","Temp-har-wgen")  #Select a rainfall and a temperature generator
out<- modCalibrator(obs = tank_obs,         #Calibrate models
                    modelTag = modelTag)
