Spin-up meteorology

Spin-up meteorology

spin.met(in.path, in.prefix, start_date, end_date, nyear = 1000,
  nsample = 50, resample = TRUE, run_start_date = start_date,
  overwrite = TRUE)

Arguments

in.path	met input folder path
in.prefix	met input file prefix (shared by all annual files, can be "")
start_date	start of met
end_date	end of met
nyear	number of years of spin-up, default 1000
nsample	sample the first nsample years of met, default 50
resample	resample (TRUE, default) or cycle (FALSE) meteorology
run_start_date	date the run itself starts, which can be different than the start of met
overwrite	whether to replace previous resampling

Value

updated start date

Details

spin.met works by creating symbolic links to the sampled met file, rather than copying the whole file. Be aware that the internal dates in those files are not modified. Right now this is designed to be called within met2model.[MODEL] before the met is processed (it's designed to work with annual CF files not model-specific files) for example with models that process met into one large file

Examples

# NOT RUN {
start_date <- "0850-01-01 00:00:00"
end_date   <- "2010-12-31 23:59:59"
nyear      <- 10
nsample    <- 50
resample   <- TRUE

# }# NOT RUN {
if(!is.null(spin)){
   ## if spinning up, extend processed met by resampling or cycling met
   start_date <- PEcAn.data.atmosphere::spin.met(
     in.path, in.prefix,
     start_date, end_date,
     nyear, nsample, resample)
}
# }
