mc_read_wide {myClim}

Reading data from wide data.frame

Description

This is universal function designed to read time-series and values from wide data.frame to myClim object. Useful for data not coming from supported microclimatic loggers. E.g. meteorological station data.

Usage

mc_read_wide(
  data_table,
  sensor_id = mc_const_SENSOR_real,
  sensor_name = NULL,
  clean = TRUE,
  silent = FALSE
)

Arguments

data_table

data.frame with first column of POSIXct time format UTC timezone, followed by columns with (micro)climatic records. See details.

Columns:

• datetime column - POSIXct in UTC timezone is required

• Name of locality[1] - values

• ...

• Name of locality[n] - values

sensor_id

define the sensor type, one of names(mc_data_sensors) (default real)

sensor_name

custom name of sensor; if NULL (default) than sensor_name == sensor_id

clean

if TRUE, then mc_prep_clean is called automatically while reading (default TRUE)

silent

if TRUE, then any information is printed in console (default FALSE)

Details

The first column of input data.frame must be datetime column in POSIXct time format UTC timezone. Following columns represents localities. Column names are the localities names. All values in wide data.frame represents the same sensor type, e.g. air temperature. If you wish to read multiple sensors use mc_read_long or use mc_read_wide multiple times separately for each sensor type and that merge myClim objects with mc_prep_merge By default data are cleaned with function mc_prep_clean(). See function description. It detects holes in time-series, duplicated records or records in wrong order.

Value

myClim object in Raw-format
