PlotClim {s2dv}

Plots Climatologies

Description

Plots climatologies as a function of the forecast time for any index output from Clim() and organized in matrix with dimensions:
c(nmod/nexp, nmemb/nparam, nltime) or c(nmod/nexp, nltime) for the experiment data
c(nobs, nmemb, nltime) or c(nobs, nltime) for the observational data

Usage

PlotClim(
  exp_clim,
  obs_clim = NULL,
  toptitle = "",
  ytitle = "",
  monini = 1,
  freq = 12,
  limits = NULL,
  listexp = c("exp1", "exp2", "exp3"),
  listobs = c("obs1", "obs2", "obs3"),
  biglab = FALSE,
  leg = TRUE,
  sizetit = 1,
  fileout = NULL,
  width = 8,
  height = 5,
  size_units = "in",
  res = 100,
  ...
)

Arguments

exp_clim

Matrix containing the experimental data with dimensions:
c(nmod/nexp, nmemb/nparam, nltime) or c(nmod/nexp, nltime)

obs_clim

Matrix containing the observational data (optional) with dimensions:
c(nobs, nmemb, nltime) or c(nobs, nltime)

toptitle

Main title, optional.

ytitle

Title of Y-axis, optional.

monini

Starting month between 1 and 12. Default = 1.

freq

1 = yearly, 12 = monthly, 4 = seasonal, ... Default = 12.

limits

c(lower limit, upper limit): limits of the Y-axis, optional.

listexp

List of experiment names, optional.

listobs

List of observational dataset names, optional.

biglab

TRUE/FALSE for presentation/paper plot. Default = FALSE.

leg

TRUE/FALSE to plot the legend or not.

sizetit

Multiplicative factor to scale title size, optional.

fileout

Name of output file. Extensions allowed: eps/ps, jpeg, png, pdf, bmp and tiff. The default value is NULL, which the figure is shown in a pop-up window.

width

File width, in the units specified in the parameter size_units (inches by default). Takes 8 by default.

height

File height, in the units specified in the parameter size_units (inches by default). Takes 5 by default.

size_units

Units of the size of the device (file or window) to plot in. Inches ('in') by default. See ?Devices and the creator function of the corresponding device.

res

Resolution of the device (file or window) to plot in. See ?Devices and the creator function of the corresponding device.

Examples

# Load sample data as in Load() example:
example(Load)
clim <- Clim(sampleData$mod, sampleData$obs)
PlotClim(clim$clim_exp, clim$clim_obs, toptitle = paste('climatologies'), 
        ytitle = 'K', monini = 11, listexp = c('CMIP5 IC3'), 
        listobs = c('ERSST'), biglab = FALSE, fileout = NULL)
