box_and_whisker_monthly_plots {StrathE2E2}R Documentation

Box-and-whisker plots of observed monthly data on the state of the ecosystem with equivalent properties derived from a StrathE2E run

Description

Multi-panel plot comparing annual cycles of monthly averaged observational data on nutrinet and plankton concentrations with equivalent data derived from the final year of a model run generated by the StrathE2E() function

Usage

box_and_whisker_monthly_plots(model, results)

Arguments

model

R-list object defining the model configuration compiled by the read_model() function

results

R-list object containing model results generated by the StrathE2E() function

Details

The function plots a multi-panel page of box-and-whisker plots showing the medians and variability ranges (quartiles as box-and-whisker) of observational data on nitrate, ammonia, chlorophyll, omnivorous and carnivorous zooplankton, and benthos larvae concentrations alongside single-value data on equivalent measures derived from the final year of a StrathE2e model run.

The observational data to be plotted are loaded from the folder Modelname/Variantname/Target_data/monthly_target_data_*.csv as part of a read_model() function call and are built into the R-list object generated by read_model().

The corresponding measures derived from the final year of a model run generated by the StrathE2E() function call are located in /results/Modelname/Variantname/model_target_monthlyresults-*.csv, and in the R-list object generated by StrathE2E()

Value

Graphical display in a new graphics window

Examples

# Load the 1970-1999 version of the North Sea model supplied with the package:
model <- read_model("North_Sea", "1970-1999")
#Run the model and generate the results object
results <- StrathE2E(model,nyears=10)
# Plot the comparison of target data and model output
box_and_whisker_monthly_plots(model, results)

# Plot in a new window leaving any existing windows open
