Dear all, I am calculating climate extremes using rclimdex. When loading data it generate the following error message "Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, :
line 1 did not have 6 elements"
Hello Ibrahim,
The problem may be due to unequal number of elements in each row in the data frame returned by using read.table. You can try using the argument “fill=TRUE” in your command like this ->
data
Dear Ibrahim Ishiaku,
Perhaps data format is unsuitable. The format is described in the RClimDex user manual:
1. ASCII text file
2. Columns as following sequences: Year, Month, Day, PRCP, TMAX, TMIN. (NOTE: PRCP units = millimeters and Temperature units= degrees Celsius)
3. The format as described above must be space delimited (e.g. each element separated by one or more spaces).
4. For data records, missing data must be coded as -99.9; data records must be in calendar date order. Missing dates allowed.
Thanks you all. I did find where it all went wrong. I was only interested in precipitation extremes. It appeared the software only load data when the six elements are included as suggested by Kristina. Thanks
I think the correct name should be weather extreme and not climate extreme. These events are influenced by man made climate change but they occur on day basis thus need to be called weather extreme events
You need to re-check the format of your station.txt file. The format is well explained by Krastina Malcheva
can anyone tell what would be the format for monthly data in rclimdex?
what should be entered in day column?
Hi @Summera Khan, did you find a solution? I have similar challenge.
Thanks
Ishiaku Ibrahim I have monthly climate data that I'd like to use to use in rclimdex. How can I interpolate daily values from this data?
Thank you!
Dear Esther, unfortunately, I have no idea how monthly data can be interpolated into a daily value.
