library(DataMetProcess)

Collecting packet information with list_inmet()

First, we add a pathway for the file to be downloaded and converted into useful information. The file is retained, and its content can be extracted later. For this example, we will use a temporary file that doesn’t have much influence at this stage.

file.down <- tempfile()

info.inmet <- DataMetProcess::list_inmet(
  year="2000",
  filename = file.down
)

head(info.inmet)
#> $Adresses
#>                                                                  Name

Now we have an object containing a list of files in $Addresses within the path shown in $Saved, and a structured table with information extracted from the file names.

Having done that, now we can make use of a very useful function from the utils package, called unzip(). At this point, we can also use the files parameter of the unzip() function to extract only the files of interest. Please refer to ?utils::unzip for more details.


file.save <- tempfile()

unzip.file <-
   utils::unzip(
     zipfile = file.down, #or info.inmet$Saved
     exdir = file.save
   )

#specific file
unzip.file <-
   utils::unzip(
     zipfile = file.down, #or info.inmet$Saved
     files = info.inmet$Adresses[2,],
     exdir = file.save
   )

Time zone correction with adjustDate()

To perform the time zone correction, we can use the adjustDate() function. To do this, we will use an example file provided with the package, At this point, we could indeed use a file obtained in the previous topic. You can check the available time zones by using OlsonNames().

address <-
 base::system.file("extdata",
                    "ex1_inmet.CSV",
                    package = "DataMetProcess")

df <-
  read.table(
    address,
    h=TRUE,
    sep = ";",
    dec = ",",
    skip = 8, 
    na.strings = -9999,
    check.names = FALSE
  ) #see ?read.table for more details...

#Converting to R standard (when necessary)
df$Data = as.Date(df$Data,format = "%d/%m/%Y")

head(df[1:3]) #We are only viewing a part of it.

df <-
  adjustDate(df,
             colnames(df)[1],
             colnames(df)[2],
             fuso = "America/Bahia")

Calculation of daily, monthly and annual scales with calculateDMY()

We can then calculate daily, monthly, and yearly data using the calculateDMY() function. First, we adjust the data_hora column defined by the previous function to ensure there are no differences between the same dates. Then, we populate the parameters with the column names in string format (“string”) and define the type as "Daily," "Monthly," or "Yearly".

df.new <- df
df.new$Date_Hour <- as.Date(df$Date_Hour)

Daily

df.daily <-
  calculateDMY(
    data = df.new,
    col_date = colnames(df)[c(1)],
    col_sum = colnames(df)[c(2,6)], #simplest way to pass column names as string
    col_mean = colnames(df)[-c(1,2,6)], #remove the previous steps in the parameter above
    type = "Daily"
  )

head(df.daily[1:2]) #We are only viewing a part of it.
#> # A tibble: 6 × 2
#>   Date       precipita_o_total_hor_rio_mm
#>   <date>                            <dbl>
#> 1 2007-12-31                          0  
#> 2 2008-01-01                          2.6
#> 3 2008-01-02                          1.2
#> 4 2008-01-03                          0  
#> 5 2008-01-04                          0  
#> 6 2008-01-05                         14.2

Monthly

We use the processed df.daily file from the previous topic.

df.monthly <-
  calculateDMY(
    data = df.daily,
    col_date = colnames(df.daily)[c(1)],
    col_sum = colnames(df.daily)[c(2)],
    col_mean = colnames(df.daily)[-c(1,2)],
    type = "Monthly"
  )

head(df.monthly[1:2]) #We are only viewing a part of it.
#> # A tibble: 6 × 2
#>   Date       precipita_o_total_hor_rio_mm
#>   <date>                            <dbl>
#> 1 2007-12-01                          0  
#> 2 2008-01-01                        183. 
#> 3 2008-02-01                        191. 
#> 4 2008-03-01                        174. 
#> 5 2008-04-01                         98.8
#> 6 2008-05-01                         31.6

Yearly

df.yearly <-
  calculateDMY(
    data = df.monthly,
    col_date = colnames(df.monthly)[c(1)],
    col_sum = colnames(df.monthly)[c(2)],
    col_mean = colnames(df.monthly)[-c(1,2)],
    type = "Yearly"
  )

head(df.yearly[1:2]) #We are only viewing a part of it.
#> # A tibble: 2 × 2
#>    Date precipita_o_total_hor_rio_mm
#>   <dbl>                        <dbl>

Reference evapotranspiration with calculateETrefPM()

We can calculate reference evapotranspiration for daily data using the calculateETrefPM() function. This function is based on the FAO Penman-Monteith method, according to:”
