| HRprec08 {plotKML} | R Documentation |
The daily measurements of precipitation (rain gauges) for year 2008 kindly contributed by the Croatian National Meteorological Service. HRprec08 contains 175,059 measurements of precipitation sums (489 stations by 365 days).
data(HRprec08)
The HRprec08 data frames contain the following columns:
NAMEname of the meteorological station
Lona numeric vector; x-coordiante / longitude in the WGS84 system
Lata numeric vector; y-coordinate / latitude in the WGS84 system
DATE'Date' class vector
PRECdaily cummulative precipitation in mm (precipitation from the day before)
The precipitation estimates in mm (HRprec08) are collected in a bottle within the rain gauge and readings are usually manual by an observer at 7 a.m. The precipitation collected in the morning refer to the precipitation for previous 24 hours. To project coordinates we suggest using the UTM zone 33N system as this coordinate system was used to prepare the gridded predictors.
