Introduction
This tutorial will show you how to create Thermopluviograms and Extreme rainfall plots using climate data from the Norwegian climate service and observed data from SeNorge. To get started, we will grab data from SeNorge.
SeNorge
- Go to senorge.no, from the side menu, select themes > daily maps > temperature
- Select the point on interest on the map, then select “Graph of the point” and then download data from the point
- Perform the same for Precipitation:
That concludes the data acquisition part from SeNorge. Of course, you can source your observed data from where ever you please and use it in stead of SeNorge, if you match the format.
NVE
Our climate data will be sourced from NVE’s Klima service cente
Go to https://nedlasting.nve.no/klimadata/kss (DEPRECATED)
Nevermind, that has been discontinued, instead go here: https://thredds.met.no/thredds/catalog/KSS/Klima_i_Norge_2100/utgave2015/catalog.html
It seems like getting this data has become a lot harder now, and perhaps needs a re-anylsis v3 type solutions.. for now the tutorial will continue with our example data, and it is up to you to manage the download for your location (for now).
Workflow
For this example, we will download example data from a GitLab Repo:
download.file(url = "https://gitlab.nibio.no/moritzshore/example-files/-/raw/main/thermopluviograms/Climate_Data.zip",
destfile = "Climate_Data.zip")
unzip("Climate_Data.zip",
exdir = ".")Now we can generate the Thermopluviograms
thermopluviogram(
modelled_climate = "Climate_Data/Modelled/",
observed_pr = "Climate_Data/Observed/senorge_pr.csv",
observed_tm = "Climate_Data/Observed/senorge_temp.csv",
outpath = "../man/figures",
location = "Aas",
chosen_model_runs = c("CNRM-CCLM", "CNRM-RCA", "ECEARTH-RCA", "IPSL-RCA"),
ref_startdate = "1971-01-01",
ref_enddate = "2005-12-31",
obs_startdate = "2041-01-01",
obs_enddate = "2070-12-31",
left_yaxis_only = T,
fixed_axis = T,
verbose = T
)
