temperature data tables for simulation — initTemp • ewing

Used internally by init.simulation to initialize temperature regime for simulation.

Usage

initTemp(
  community,
  lo.hour = 0,
  hi.hour = getTemp(community, "Unit"),
  days = TemperaturePar["Days"],
  messages = TRUE,
  datafile = "",
  ...
)

Format

TemperatureBase is a data frame with one or more daily baseline temperatures.

Day: day on which baseline begins
Time: time in hours from midnight
Base: temperature offset in percent between daily lows and highs
value: value of parameter
description: description of parameter (same as column descriptions below)

Unit: hours in day
Days: number of days
Min: minimum temperature for degree-day calculation (Fahrenheit)
LowBeg: begining daily low temperature
LowEnd: ending daily low temperature
HighBeg: begining daily high temperature
HighEnd: ending daily high temperature
Length: number of nodes for interpolating spline
