plot.seas.temp {climate.plot}R Documentation

Plot seasonal temperature normals

Description

Plot seasonal temperature normals using boxplots, and also plot seasonal diurnal variability between minimum and maximum temperature.

Usage

plot.seas.temp(x)

plot.seas.temp(x, start, end, width=11, id,
                names=c("min_t","max_t","mean_t"),
                unit="C", add.alt=FALSE, ylim, ...)

Arguments

x data.frame of climate data
start start year; if omitted minimum year will be used
end end year; if omitted will use same as start, and if start is omitted, will use maximum year
width size of bin; see mkfact
id unique station identifier used to extract a subset of data from x
names array specifying the names of the columns in x which relate to the minimum, maximum and mean temperatures
unit native temperature units of the data; one of either C, F or K
add.alt logical; add an alternative scale: if unit is C, the alternative is F; if unit is F, the alternative is C; and if unit is K, the alternative is C
ylim c(min,max) range for y-axis
... other arguments passed to .seastitle for title style, and other customizations to the appearance

Details

Plots boxplots for seasonal temperature normals from mean daily temperature, and diurnal variability with the mean difference of daily minimum and maximum temperatures (red vertical lines).

Value

Returns values from boxplot statistics on mean temperature.
