Mandatory Data for the Example 'Points'
Description
Data needed to demonstrate the working of functions with a point mode. Measured monthly time series
of three basic climate variables retrieved from the CarpatClim database (Spinoni et al. 2015), at a grid cell
near Szeged, Hungary (46.3° N, 20.2° E), for the period 1981-2010; supplemented with the associated
geographical data. Monthly mean relative sunshine duration has been obtained as a ratio of monthly total of
sunshine duration and maximum potential number of sunshine hours under clear-sky conditions. Daylength
(accumulated hours of daylight) was calculated via Eq 1.6.11 in Duffie and Beckman (1991), according to the
SPLASH radiation algorithm (see cliAvgDlySolIrrPoints).
Format
A list with three data frames and three numeric scalars.
Data frames contain one-year monthly time series for the period 1981-2010, for the following climate variables:
temp: mean air temperature (in °C)prec: precipitation sum (in mm)bsdf: mean relative sunshine duration (dimensionless)
The following geographical parameters can be extracted from the numeric scalars:
lat: latitude coordinate (in decimal degrees)lon: longitude coordinate (in decimal degrees)elv: elevation (in meters above sea level)
