myClim natively supports the import of several pre-defined loggers.
You can view the list of pre-defined loggers using
names(myClim::mc_data_formats)
. To specify the data format
when reading files, set the dataformat_name
parameter.
There is also the possibility to read user-defined loggers by defining
the user_data_formats
parameter. For examples of how to
read custom loggers in myClim, please refer to a separate vignette.
Alternatively, myClim can read records from any wide or long data frame
in R.
The mc_read_files(), mc_read_wide(), and mc_read_long() functions can be used for reading in data without metadata. These functions are user-friendly, fast, and allow for exploratory data analysis. myClim automatically organizes data into artificial localities, and metadata can be updated at a later stage. To organize records into real localities and provide metadata, use the mc_read_data() function along with two tables:1. A table that specifies logger file paths, data format name, logger type, and locality. 2. A table that provides locality metadata, such as coordinates, elevation, time offset to UTC, and so on.

mc_prep_clean()
corrects time-series data if it is in the wrong order, contains
duplicates, or has missing values. The cleaning log is saved in the
myClim object and can be accessed using mc_info_clean()
after cleaning. By default, cleaning is performed during reading.# clean runs automatically while reading
tms <- mc_prep_clean(tms.m, silent = T) # clean series
#> Warning in mc_prep_clean(tms.m, silent = T): MyClim object is already cleaned.
#> Repeated cleaning overwrite cleaning informations.
tms.info <- mc_info_clean(tms) # call cleaning log
mc_prep_solar_tz()
function calculates
solar time from the longitude of the locality. Besides solar_tz the
offset can be also set manually using
mc_prep_meta_locality()
to respect e.g. political
time.tms <- mc_prep_solar_tz(tms) # calculate solar time
# provide user defined offset to UTC in minutes
# for conversion to political time use offset in minutes.

mc_prep_calib_load()
to upload the
offsets into the myClim object, and then use
mc_prep_calib()
to apply the offset correction.# simulate calibration data (sensor shift/offset to add)

mc_prep_meta_locality()
. With this function, users can
rename the locality, set the time offset, adjust the coordinates,
elevation, and other metadata. For updating sensor metadata, use
mc_prep_meta_sensor()
, which allows users to rename the
sensor and update the sensor’s height or depth. Many sensors have a
predefined height, which is important for data joining.## upload metadata from data frame

You can create a raster plot using mc_plot_raster()
or a
line time series plot using mc_plot_line()
. The line time
series plot supports a maximum of two different physical units (e.g.,
temperature and soil moisture) that can be plotted together on the
primary and secondary y-axes. The plotting functions return a ggplot
object that can be further adjusted with ggplot syntax or can be saved
directly as PDF or PNG files on your drive.
## lines
tms.plot <- mc_filter(tms, localities = "A6W79")
p <- mc_plot_line(tms.plot, sensors = c("TMS_T3", "TMS_T1", "TMS_moist"))
p <- p+ggplot2::scale_x_datetime(date_breaks = "1 week", date_labels = "%W")
p <- p+ggplot2::xlab("week")

p <- p+ggplot2::guides(size = "none")
p <- p+ggplot2::scale_color_manual(values = c("hotpink", "pink", "darkblue"), name = NULL)
## raster
mc_plot_raster(tms, sensors = c("TMS_T3"))
Using the mc_agg()
function, you can aggregate
time-series data (e.g., from 15-minute intervals) into hourly, daily,
weekly, monthly, seasonal, or yearly intervals using various functions
such as mean, max, percentile, sum, and more.
# with defaults only convert Raw-format to Agg-format
tms.ag <- mc_agg(tms.m,fun = NULL, period = NULL)
# aggregate to daily mean, range, coverage, and 95 percentile.
tms.day <- mc_agg(tms, fun = c("mean", "range", "coverage", "percentile"),
percentiles = 95, period = "day", min_coverage = 0.95)
# aggregate all time-series, return one value per sensor.
tms.all <- mc_agg(tms, fun = c("mean", "range", "coverage", "percentile"),
percentiles = 95, period = "all", min_coverage = 0.95)
# aggregate with your custom function. (how many records are below -5°C per month)
tms.all.custom <- mc_agg(tms.out, fun = list(TMS_T3 = "below5"), period = "month",
custom_functions = list(below5 = function(x){length(x[x<(-5)])}))
r <- mc_reshape_long(tms.all.custom)
Within myClim object it is possible to calculate new virtual sensors (i.e., microclimatic variables), such as volumetric water content, growing and freezing degree days, and snow cover duration, among others.
## calculate virtual sensor VWC from raw TMS moisture signal
tms.calc <- mc_calc_vwc(tms.out, soiltype = "loamy sand A")
## virtual sensor with growing and freezing degree days
tms.calc <- mc_calc_gdd(tms.calc, sensor = "TMS_T3",)
tms.calc <- mc_calc_fdd(tms.calc, sensor = "TMS_T3")
## virtual sensor to estimate snow presence from 2 cm air temperature
tms.calc <- mc_calc_snow(tms.calc, sensor = "TMS_T2")
## summary data.frame of snow estimation
tms.snow <- mc_calc_snow_agg(tms.calc)
## virtual sensor with VPD
hobo.vpd <- mc_calc_vpd(hob.f)

Unlike other functions that return myClim objects,
mc_env
functions returns an analysis-ready flat table that
represents a predefined set of standard microclimatic variables.
mc_env_temp()
for example: the 5th percentile of daily
minimum temperatures, the mean of daily mean temperatures, the 95th
percentile of daily maximum temperatures, the mean of daily temperature
range, the sum of degree days above a base temperature (default 5°C),
the sum of degree days below a base temperature (default 0°C), and the
number of days with frost (daily minimum < 0°C).
Microclimatic records from myClim objects can be converted to a wide
or long data frame using mc_reshape_wide()
and
mc_reshape_long()
functions. This can be useful for data
exploration, visualization, and further analysis outside of the myClim
framework. The wide format represents each sensor as a separate column
with time as rows, while the long format stacks the sensor columns and
adds additional columns for variable names and sensor IDs.
## wide table of air temperature and soil moisture
tms.wide <- mc_reshape_wide(tms.calc, sensors = c("TMS_T3", "vwc"))
## long table of air temperature and soil moisture
tms.long <- mc_reshape_long(tms.calc, sensors = c("TMS_T3", "vwc"))
tms.long.all <- mc_reshape_long(tms.all)
