algorithm that decides weather weach365 or weach366 will be used based on the output of CheckLeapYear

Usage

weachNEW(X, lati, ts = 1, temp.units = c("Farenheit", "Celsius"), rh.units = c("percent", "fraction"), ws.units = c("mph", "mps"), pp.units = c("in", "mm"), ...)

Arguments

X

a matrix (or data frame) containing weather information. The input format is strict but it is meant to be used with the data usually obtained from weather stations in Illinois. The data frame should have 11 columns (see details).

lati

latitude at the specific location

ts

timestep for the simulation of sub-daily data from daily. For example a value of 3 would return data every 3 hours. Only divisors of 24 work (i.e. 1,2,3,4, etc.).

temp.units

Option to specify the units in which the temperature is entered. Default is Farenheit.

rh.units

Option to specify the units in which the relative humidity is entered. Default is percent.

ws.units

Option to specify the units in which the wind speed is entered. Default is miles per hour.

pp.units

Option to specify the units in which the precipitation is entered. Default is inches.

list()

additional arguments to be passed to lightME
