Statistics can be from either two time periods: 2046 - 2065 and 2081 - 2100 and are all given in units relative to a control period: 1961 - 2000. Derived statistics can be any of the following:
| Statistic | Description | Units |
| tmin_means | Average daily minimum temperature | degrees Celsius |
| tmax_means | Average daily maximum temperature | degrees Celsius |
| tmax_days90th | Number of days with maximum temperature above the control period 90th percentile (hot days) | days |
| tmin_days90th | Number of days with minimum temperature above the control period 90th percentile (warm nights) | days |
| tmax_days10th | Number of days with maximum temperature below the control period 10th percentile (cool days) | days |
| tmin_days10th | Number of days with minimum temperature below the control period 10th percentile (cold nights) | days |
| tmin_days0 | Number of days with minimum temperature below 0 degrees Celsius | days |
| ppt_days | Number of days with precipitation greater than 0.2 mm | days |
| ppt_days2 | Number of days with precipitation greater than 2 mm | days |
| ppt_days10 | Number of days with precipitation greater than 10 mm | days |
| ppt_days90th | Number of days with precipitation greater than the control periods 90th percentile | days |
| ppt_dryspell | Average number of days between precipitation events | days |
| ppt_means | Average daily precipitation | mm |
Arguments
- locator
The ISO3 country code that you want data about. (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49alpha.htm) or the basin ID [1-468]
- type
the type of data you want "mavg" for monthly averages, "annualavg"
- stat
The statistics of interest, must be one of the ones listed above.
Examples
if (FALSE) {
### Request data on the US for days of rain over 2 mm
ens_dat <- get_ensemble_stats("USA","mavg","ppt_days2")
# subset to the 50th percentile and just until the year 2100
ens_dat <- subset(ens_dat, ens_dat$percentile == 50)
ens_dat <- subset(ens_dat,ens_dat$toYear == 2100)
ggplot(ens_dat,aes(x = as.factor(month), y= monthVals, group=scenario,
colour=scenario)) + geom_point() + geom_line()
}
