na_interp {heatwaveR}

Pad NA gaps of user-defined width with interpolated values.

Description

An internal function that helps to create a time series that will then be used by clim_calc within ts2clm to produce a climatology as desired by the user.

Usage

na_interp(doy = doy, x = ts_x, y = ts_y, maxPadLength)

Arguments

doy

Date-of-year as per make_whole or make_whole_fast.

x

Date as per make_whole or make_whole_fast.

y

Measurement variable as per make_whole or make_whole_fast.

maxPadLength

Specifies the maximum length of days over which to interpolate (pad) missing data (specified as NA) in the input temperature time series; i.e., any consecutive blocks of NAs with length greater than maxPadLength will be left as NA. Set as an integer.

Value

The function returns the data (a data.table) in a long format.
