Models download/upload
load_data.RdAutomatically load models (netCDF/NcML) in a tidy format with access to state-of-the-art climate models and reanalyses datasets
Usage
load_data(
path.to.data,
country,
variable,
xlim = NULL,
ylim = NULL,
years.hist = NULL,
years.proj,
path.to.obs = NULL,
buffer = 0,
domain = NULL,
aggr.m = "none",
n.sessions = 6,
years.obs = NULL
)Arguments
- path.to.data
character (CORDEX-CORE or path to local data) or NULL. If path to local data, specify path to the directory containing the RCP/SSPs folders and historical simulations (optional). For example, home/user/data/. data would contain subfolders with the climate/impact models. Historical simulations have to be contained in a folder called historical. If path.to.data is set as CORDEX-CORE, CORDEX-CORE simulations will be downloaded
- country
character, in English, indicating the country of interest or an object of class sf. To select a bounding box, set country to NULL and define arguments xlim and ylim
- variable
character indicating the variable name
- xlim
numeric of length = 2, with minimum and maximum longitude coordinates, in decimal degrees, of the bounding box of interest
- ylim
same as xlim, but for the selection of the latitudinal range
- years.hist
NULL or numeric, specify year range for the historical experiment
- years.proj
NULL or numeric, specify year range for projections
- path.to.obs
character, default to NULL. To automatically load W5E5 or ERA5, specify W5E5 or ERA5. Otherwise, indicate the absolute path to the directory containing another observational dataset
- buffer
numeric, default is zero.
- domain
charachter, specify the CORDEX-CORE domain (e.g AFR-22, EAS-22). Used with path.to.data = CORDEX-CORE. Default is NULL. List of domain names can be found at https://cordex.org/domains/
- aggr.m
character, monthly aggregation. One of none, mean or sum
- n.sessions
numeric, number of sessions to use in parallel processing. Default to 6. Increasing the number of sessions will not necessarily results in better performances. Leave as default unless necessary
- years.obs
NULL or numeric, specify year range for observation. Specifying years.obs will overwrite years.hist for observations
