Hi @all, I am biting my nails with the following problem: I have a data set of daily rainfall measurements for the last 20 years. What I want to do is calculate the daily cumulative sum of rainfall but only for every year which means that the cumulative sum has to be reset each year. After the calculations I want to plot each year of cumulative rainfall as a separate line in one graph pref...

I've been trying to split a space delimited string with double-quotes in R for some time but without success. An example of a string is as follows: /rainfall snowfall "Channel storage" "Rivulet storage"/ It's important for us because these are column headings that must match the subsequent data. Here is some code I've been trying: str <- 'rainfall snowfall "Channel storage" "Rivulet storage"...

I have a time series of rainfall in a dataframe. I would like to be able to aggregate this using a sliding window approach- i.e. a new 24 hourly total is calculated for each hours rainfall. I'm struggling to understand how this might be achieved - currently I've tried looping a sum function to re-calculate a new total a...

Hi, For my master thesis I have 24 micro-plots on which I did measurements during 3 months. The measurements were: - Rainfall and runoff events throughout 3monts (runoff being dependant on the rainfall, a coefficient (%) has been made per rainfall event and per 3 months) - Soil texture (3 different textures were differentiated) - Slope (3 classes of slopes) - Stoniness (one time measurement) - Random roughness (throughou...

Dear All, I am a research student in environment. I have only little programming knowledge. I am currently doing the last project about rainfall impact on ground water quality in an area. It happens that I have to use R to read rainfall data (3 dimension) from ASC file (*.asc), and then write them into one NCDF file (*.nc). I have been working very hard on study R, but I still can not fix the problem. Could someone please as ki...

Hi, I'm a newbie in using R and I would like to have a few clues as to how I could compute and plot a distribution of daily rainfall intensity in different categories. I have daily values (mm/day) for several years and I need to show the frequency of 0-1, 1-2.5, 2.5-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20+ mm/day. Can this be done easily? Thanks, Etienne

Hi I think I have been struggling to use replace correctly, I usually work my way around this using a loop, but I think this is in fact inefficient. I have a dataset with runoff from three plots and associated rainfall. However either the datarecording was sloppy, or the rainfall very patchy. So I am trying to remove data from my dataset for which the runoff is larger than the rainfall on the same day. (Don't worry, the rainfall data is in fact the rainfall associated to the three days around the runoff even...

I am trying to model the observed leaching of wood preservative chemicals from treated wood during an outdoor experiment where leaching is caused by rainfall events. For each rainfall event, the amount of rainfall was recorded as well as the amount of preservative chemical leached. A number of climatic variables were measured, but the most important is the amount of rainfall. I have tried a simple linear model, with zero intercept because zero rainf...

Thank you Sarah and Mike for your explanations. My final objective is to produce maps (png image or any kind of extension I can import in LaTeX) where rainfall data are interpolated, using the Inverse Distance method or Kriging. My input file (pointfile.csv in the reported example) reports the station code, lat and long of the meteorological station and the rainfall value (which might be the cumulate of a week or ten days or the period I need to investig...

Hi, You might get more help from the R-sig-geo list, which is devoted to spatial topics. However. The *.asc file is an ArcGIS raster export format. You should use whatever the appropriate import commands are for your own gridded rainfall data. If you have a different format, you might or might not be able to import it directly with raster. ?raster will tell you more about the kinds of formats that function can handle importing. I'm not sure what the intent of converting a raster to point data actually is; if you have point d...

Dear R users, I need to produce rainfall maps using R. I know that this is possible, I looked though the web, I found the example below reported (the author is Andrew Tredennick). I would ask you if this is the most performing way to make rainfall maps; if yes would someone be able to give me an example of how file.asc and pointfile.csv...

Dear List Members, I need some help about programming in S language. My problem is as follows: I have meteorological data (about rainfall measurement each day from 1989-2002), say like http://www.angelfire.com/ab5/get5/data.rainfall.txt or http://www.angelfire.com/ab5/get5/R.rainfall.txt in a sequence of 0(denoting dry day)'s and 1(denoting wet day)'s. I want to construct a frequency distribution table of various lengths (...

Hello, I have some daily rainfall data from rain gages. E.g.: date p1 p2 p3 20/04/2002 10.2 8.6 6.3 21/04/2002 0.4 1.6 1.4 22/04/2002 0.2 0.0 0.4 23/04/2002 5.2 1.0 0.2 I'd like to plot them in a column plot by day, to be able to compare them. I made an example in exell, that I attached, but can't find ou...

I am a student doing my MSc Research Methods, i am working on my thesis research on analysing and modelling of crop failure risks due to drought in selected districts in Malawi. The analysis and modelling will focus on two crop stages of development: just after planting and flowering stages. I have rainfall, temperature, Relative humidity, wind speed, coordinate location data for the past 30 years for each of the district i have chosen based on the Malawi National Program action against climate change. I wish to model using the extreme value statistical theory in R by extRemes package. How do I arran...

Dear List Members, I need a bit help about fitting some theoretical distributions (such as geometric, exponential, lognormal or weibull distribution) to the following *dry spell*, *wet spell*, *cycles (Wet-Dry or Dry-Wet)* from my meteorological (daily rainfall) data http://www.angelfire.com/ab5/get5/R.rainfall.txt only for rainy seasen (july - september) of 14 years only: dryspell<-c(1,1,4,1,1,4,2,2,3,4,1,2,1,1,1,3,1,3, 2,3,1,2,3,3,2,2,6,2,1,1,3,1,2,1,4,4,1,1,2,1,1,2, 2,4,1,1,1,3,4,1,7,1,3,2,5,1,3,1,1,3,4,8,4,3,1,1, 1,2,3,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,13,13,7...

Hi, I would like to plot time against rainfall data (data is at the end) using xyplot. The basic code looks like this: xyplot(rainfall~time, type="a") When I do this, the graph looks ok except that the x-axis has too many values. I would just like to display the years and not the months on the x-axis. I've been fiddling around w...

Hello, I'm looking for a way to plot different data series on one graph. I have a series of hourly rainfall and quarterly flow measurements (i.e. 4 times an hour) of a catchment. The rainfall should be plotted in bars, the flow as a line. Both on the same X axe (time) but with different Y axes. The problem is the plot() function does not support add=TRUE... Furthermore I'm not sure what's the...

Hello R Users, I am using R on Windows, I am ploting CO2 (350,380) variying with year(1993,2003) I want to over-plot rainfall (10,250) varying with year(1993,2003) on axis-4 axis-1=year(1993,2003), axis-2=CO2(350,380) axis-3=None axis-4=rainfall(10,250) Kindly help how to over-plot another variable on axis-4. Many thanks, Regards, Yogesh [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I'm new to R and tried a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. I have some data as a csv file with columns:- longditude latitude year month rainfall region What I need to do is produce a monthly time series for each region, where region is an integer id and where each time point in the series is the monthly average of rainfall for each location in that region. Basically I know how to read the data as:- raindata<-read.csv("Rainfall.c...
