v32 v33 221 221 === ''__Description__'' 222 222 223 Loads hindcast/forecast data from the SPECS-EUPORIAS THREDDS Data Server.223 Loads seasonal hindcast/forecast data from the SPECS-EUPORIAS THREDDS Data Server. 224 224 225 225 … … 238 238 * `lonLim`: Vector of length = 2, with minimum and maximum longitude coordinates, in decimal degrees, of the bounding box selected. 239 239 * `latLim`: Vector of length = 2, with minimum and maximum latitude coordinates, in decimal degrees, of the bounding box selected. 240 * `season`: A vector of integers specifying the desired season (in months, January=1 ...). Options include one to several months. If `NULL` (the default), the function will return a whole year forecast from January to December. For instance, `period = c(12,1,2)` will retrieve the forecast for the standard boreal winter (DJF), `period = 6:8` for summer (JJA) and so on.241 * `years`: Optional vector of years to select. Default to all available years. Note that in the case of a year-crossing season for a particular year period (e.g. winter DJF, `season = c(12,1,2)` and `years = 1981:2000`), by convention the first season returned will be DJF 1980/81, if available (otherwise a warning message is given). 240 * `season`: A vector of integers specifying the desired season (in months, January=1 ...). Options include one to several months. If `NULL` (the default), the function will return all possible months given the `leadMonth`. For instance, `period = c(12,1,2)` will retrieve the forecast for the standard boreal winter (DJF), `period = 6:8` for summer (JJA) and so on. See details. 241 * `years`: Optional vector of years to select. Default to all available years. Note that in the case of a year-crossing season for a particular year period (e.g. winter DJF, `season = c(12,1,2)` and `years = 1981:2000`), by convention the first season returned will be DJF 1980/81, if available (otherwise a warning message is given). See details. 242 242 * `leadMonth`: Lead month forecast time corresponding to the first month of the specified season. Note that `leadMonth = 1` for `season = 1` (January) corresponds to the December initialization forecasts. The effect of the lead time in the forecast for a particular season can be analyzed by just changing this parameter. 243 243 … … 245 245 === ''__Details__'' 246 246 247 247 The function has been implemented to access seasonal slices (as determined by the `season` argument. Seasons can be defined in several ways: A single month (e.g. `season = 1` for January), a standard season (e.g. `season=c(1,2,3)` for JFM, or `season=c(12,1,2)` for DJF), or any period of consecutive months (e.g. `season=c(1,2,3,4,5,6)`, for the first half of the year). Seasons are returned for a given year period (defined by the `years` argument, e.g. `years = 1981:2000`) with a homogeneous forecast lead time (as given by the `leadMonth` argument; e.g. `leadMonth = 1` for one-month lead time) with respect to the first month of the selected season. For example, `season=c(1,2,3)` for `years = 1995:2000` and `leadMonth = 1` will return the following series: JFM 1995 (from the December 1994 runtime forecast), ..., JFM 2000 (from the December 1999 runtime forecast). Note that it is also possible to work with year-crossing seasons, such as DJF. In this case, `season=c(12,1,2)` for `years = 1995:2000` and `leadMonth = 1` will return the following series: DJF 1994/1995 (from the November 1994 runtime forecast), ..., DJF 1999/2000 (from the November 1999 runtime forecast). 248 248 249 249 {{{#!comment … … 278 278 279 279 280 === ''__Note__'' 281 282 A worked example describing a multi-model selection of a dataset is presented in the tutorial, which can be downloaded [https://www.meteo.unican.es/trac/meteo/attachment/wiki/SpecsEuporias/DataPortal_Tutorial.pdf here], 283 284 285 === ''__Examples__'' 286 287 An example of this function is provided in the [wiki:SpecsEuporias/RPackage/Examples Examples section] 288 289 290 291 280 === ''__Examples__'' 281 282 An example of this function is provided in the [wiki:SpecsEuporias/RPackage/Examples Examples section] 283 284 285 286
