year.ploy {seas}

Plot annual temperature and precipitation statistics

Description

Plots a continuous set of annual temperature and precipitation statistics for a single climate station.

Usage

year.plot(x, start.day = 1, precip.only = FALSE, precip.ylim,
          temp.ylim, na.cut = 10, ...)

Arguments

x

a data.frame of climate data

start.day

starting day of annum; either a Date or an integer day of year; this influences the statistics for each year or annum; such as annual precipitation sums

precip.only

only precipitation data is used; rain and snow ignored

precip.ylim

range for precipitation graph

temp.ylim

range for temperature graph

na.cut

minimum number of missing data points in a year to make it void; temperature and precipitation are treated independently

...

ignored

Details

This simply shows temperature using (boxplots) and annual precipitation totals. The red bars are directly proportional to the fraction of missing (or NA) values for the year; statistics not shown if there are more than na.cut NA values in a given year.

Note

This function was formerly named plot.year, but required renaming as it is not an S3 method.
