By default, `ts2clm()` wants to receive a two-column dataframe with one column labelled `t` containing all of the date values, and a second column `temp` containing all of the temperature values. Please note that the date format it expects is "YYYY-MM-DD". For example, please see the top five rows of one of the datasets included with the __`heatwaveR`__ package: ```{r file-structure} head(heatwaveR::sst_WA) ``` It is possible to use different column names other than `t` and `temp` with which to calculate events. Please see the help files for `ts2clm()` or `detect_event()` for a thorough explanation of how to do so. Loading ones data from a `.csv` file or other text based format is the easiest approach for the calculation of events, assuming one is not working with gridded data (e.g. NetCDF). Please see [this vignette](https://robwschlegel.github.io/heatwaveR/articles/gridded_event_detection.html) for a detailed walkthrough on using the functions in this package with gridded data. ## Calculating marine heatwaves (MHWs) Here are the `ts2clm()` and `detect_event()` function applied to the Western Australia test data included with this package (`sst_WA`), which are also discussed by Hobday et al. (2016): ```{r detect-example1} library(dplyr) library(ggplot2) library(heatwaveR) # Detect the events in a time series ts <- ts2clm(sst_WA, climatologyPeriod = c("1982-01-01", "2011-12-31")) mhw <- detect_event(ts) # View just a few metrics mhw$event %>% dplyr::ungroup() %>% dplyr::select(event_no, duration, date_start, date_peak, intensity_max, intensity_cumulative) %>% dplyr::arrange(-intensity_max) %>% head(5) ``` ## Visualising marine heatwaves (MHWs) ### Default MHW visuals One may use `event_line()` and `lolli_plot()` directly on the output of `detect_event()` in order to visualise MHWs. Here are the functions being used to visualise the massive Western Australian heatwave of 2011: ```{r fig-example1, echo = TRUE, eval = TRUE} event_line(mhw, spread = 180, metric = intensity_max, start_date = "1982-01-01", end_date = "2014-12-31") lolli_plot(mhw, metric = intensity_max) ``` ### Custom MHW visuals The `event_line()` and `lolli_plot()` functions were designed to work directly on the list returned by `detect_event()`. If more control over the figures is required, it may be useful to create them in **`ggplot2`** by stacking `geoms`. We specifically created two new **`ggplot2`** `geoms` to reproduce the functionality of `event_line()` and `lolli_plot()`. These functions are more general in their functionality and can be used outside of the **`heatwaveR`** package, too. To apply them to MHWs and MCSs first requires that we access the `climatology` or `event` dataframes within the list that is produced by `detect_event()`. Here is how: ```{r fig-example2, echo = TRUE, eval = TRUE} # Select the region of the time series of interest mhw2 <- mhw$climatology %>% slice(10580:10720) ggplot(mhw2, aes(x = t, y = temp, y2 = thresh)) + geom_flame() + geom_text(aes(x = as.Date("2011-02-25"), y = 25.8, label = "the Destroyer\nof Kelps")) ggplot(mhw$event, aes(x = date_start, y = intensity_max)) + geom_lolli(colour = "salmon", colour_n = "red", n = 3) + geom_text(colour = "black", aes(x = as.Date("2006-08-01"), y = 5, label = "The marine heatwaves\nTend to be left skewed in a\nGiven time series")) + labs(y = expression(paste("Max. intensity [", degree, "C]")), x = NULL) ``` ### Spicy MHW visuals The default output of these function may not be to your liking. If so, not to worry. As **`ggplot2`** `geoms`, they are highly malleable. For example, if we were to choose to reproduce the format of the MHWs as seen in Hobday et al. (2016), the code would look something like this: ```{r fig-example3, echo = TRUE, eval = TRUE} # It is necessary to give geom_flame() at least one row on either side of # the event in order to calculate the polygon corners smoothly mhw_top <- mhw2 %>% slice(5:111) ggplot(data = mhw2, aes(x = t)) + geom_flame(aes(y = temp, y2 = thresh, fill = "all"), show.legend = T) + geom_flame(data = mhw_top, aes(y = temp, y2 = thresh, fill = "top"), show.legend = T) + geom_line(aes(y = temp, colour = "temp")) + geom_line(aes(y = thresh, colour = "thresh"), size = 1.0) + geom_line(aes(y = seas, colour = "seas"), size = 1.2) + scale_colour_manual(name = "Line Colour", values = c("temp" = "black", "thresh" = "forestgreen", "seas" = "grey80")) + scale_fill_manual(name = "Event Colour", values = c("all" = "salmon", "top" = "red")) + scale_x_date(date_labels = "%b %Y") + guides(colour = guide_legend(override.aes = list(fill = NA))) + labs(y = expression(paste("Temperature [", degree, "C]")), x = NULL) ``` It is also worth pointing out that when we use `geom_flame()` directly like this, but we don't want to highlight events greater less than our standard five day length, allowing for a two day gap, we want to use the arguments `n` and `n_gap` respectively. ```{r flame_gaps} mhw3 <- mhw$climatology %>% slice(850:950) ggplot(mhw3, aes(x = t, y = temp, y2 = thresh)) + geom_flame(fill = "black", alpha = 0.5) + # Note the use of n = 5 and n_gap = 2 below geom_flame(n = 5, n_gap = 2, fill = "red", alpha = 0.5) + ylim(c(22, 25)) + geom_text(colour = "black", aes(x = as.Date("1984-05-16"), y = 24.5, label = "heat\n\n\n\n\nspike")) ``` Should we not wish to highlight any events with `geom_lolli()`, plot them with a colour other than the default, and use a different theme, it would look like this: ```{r fig-example4, echo = TRUE, eval = TRUE} ggplot(mhw$event, aes(x = date_peak, y = intensity_max)) + geom_lolli(colour = "firebrick") + labs(x = "Peak Date", y = expression(paste("Max. intensity [", degree, "C]")), x = NULL) + theme_linedraw() ``` Because these are simple **`ggplot2`** geoms possibilities are nearly infinite. ## Calculating marine cold-spells (MCSs) The calculation and visualisation of cold-spells is also provided for within this package. The data to be fed into the functions is the same as for MHWs. The main difference is that one is now calculating the 10th percentile threshold, rather than the 90th percentile threshold. Here are the top five cold-spells (cumulative intensity) detected in the OISST data for Western Australia: ```{r detect-example2} # First calculate the cold-spells ts_10th <- ts2clm(sst_WA, climatologyPeriod = c("1982-01-01", "2011-12-31"), pctile = 10) mcs <- detect_event(ts_10th, coldSpells = TRUE) # Then look at the top few events mcs$event %>% dplyr::ungroup() %>% dplyr::select(event_no, duration, date_start, date_peak, intensity_mean, intensity_max, intensity_cumulative) %>% dplyr::arrange(intensity_cumulative) %>% head(5) ``` ## Visualising marine cold-spells (MCSs) ### Default MCS visuals The default plots showing cold-spells look like this: ```{r fig-example5, echo = TRUE, eval = TRUE} event_line(mcs, spread = 200, metric = intensity_cumulative, start_date = "1982-01-01", end_date = "2014-12-31") lolli_plot(mcs, metric = intensity_cumulative, xaxis = event_no) ``` Note that one does not need to specify that MCSs are to be visualised, the functions are able to understand this on their own. ### Custom MCS visuals Cold spell figures may be created as `geoms` in **`ggplot2`**, too: ```{r fig-example6, echo = TRUE, eval = TRUE} # Select the region of the time series of interest mcs2 <- mcs$climatology %>% slice(2900:3190) # Note that one must specify a colour other than the default 'salmon' ggplot(mcs2, aes(x = t, y = thresh, y2 = temp)) + geom_flame(fill = "steelblue3") ggplot(mcs$event, aes(x = date_start, y = intensity_max)) + geom_lolli(colour = "steelblue3", colour_n = "navy", n = 3) + labs(x = "Start Date", y = expression(paste("Max. intensity [", degree, "C]"))) ``` ### Minty MCS visuals Again, because `geom_flame()` and `geom_lolli()` are simple **`ggplot2`** geoms, one can go completely bananas with them: ```{r fig-example7, echo = TRUE, eval = TRUE} mcs_top <- mcs2 %>% slice(125:202) ggplot(data = mcs2, aes(x = t)) + geom_flame(aes(y = thresh, y2 = temp, fill = "all"), show.legend = T) + geom_flame(data = mcs_top, aes(y = thresh, y2 = temp, fill = "top"), show.legend = T) + geom_line(aes(y = temp, colour = "temp")) + geom_line(aes(y = thresh, colour = "thresh"), size = 1.0) + geom_line(aes(y = seas, colour = "seas"), size = 1.2) + scale_colour_manual(name = "Line Colour", values = c("temp" = "black", "thresh" = "forestgreen", "seas" = "grey80")) + scale_fill_manual(name = "Event Colour", values = c("all" = "steelblue3", "top" = "navy")) + scale_x_date(date_labels = "%b %Y") + guides(colour = guide_legend(override.aes = list(fill = NA))) + labs(y = expression(paste("Temperature [", degree, "C]")), x = NULL) ggplot(mcs$event, aes(x = date_start, y = intensity_cumulative)) + geom_lolli(colour = "steelblue3", colour_n = "navy", n = 7) + labs( x = "Start Date", y = expression(paste("Cumulative intensity [days x ", degree, "C]"))) ``` ## Interactive visuals As of __`heatwaveR`__ v0.3.6.9002, `geom_flame()` was also able to be used with __`plotly`__ to allow for interactive MHW visuals. Unfortunately around December of 2020 the __`plotly`__ packaged was orphaned and CRAN decided it didn't want packages to include it as an imported package. Therefore as of v0.4.4.9005 __`heatwaveR`__ no longer has built in support for using `geom_flame()` with __`plotly`__. It is however still possible with a bit of work and a simple working example is given below. It is not currently possible to use `geom_lolli()` with __`plotly`__. Rather one is advised to just create the dots and segments separately with `geom_point()` and `geom_segment()` respectively as these are already recognised by __`plotly`__. Note that the following code chunk is not run as it makes this vignette a bit too large. ```{r plotly-example, eval=FALSE} # Must load plotly library first library(plotly) # Function needed for making geom_flame() work with plotly geom2trace.GeomFlame <- function (data, params, p) { x <- y <- y2 <- NULL # Create data.frame for ease of use data1 <- data.frame(x = data[["x"]], y = data[["y"]], y2 = data[["y2"]]) # Grab parameters n <- params[["n"]] n_gap <- params[["n_gap"]] # Find events that meet minimum length requirement data_event <- heatwaveR::detect_event(data1, x = x, y = y, seasClim = y, threshClim = y2, minDuration = n, maxGap = n_gap, protoEvents = T) # Detect spikes data_event$screen <- base::ifelse(data_event$threshCriterion == FALSE, FALSE, ifelse(data_event$event == FALSE, TRUE, FALSE)) # Screen out spikes data1 <- data1[data_event$screen != TRUE,] # Prepare to find the polygon corners x1 <- data1$y x2 <- data1$y2 # # Find points where x1 is above x2. above <- x1 > x2 above[above == TRUE] <- 1 above[is.na(above)] <- 0 # Points always intersect when above=TRUE, then FALSE or reverse intersect.points <- which(diff(above) != 0) # Find the slopes for each line segment. x1.slopes <- x1[intersect.points + 1] - x1[intersect.points] x2.slopes <- x2[intersect.points + 1] - x2[intersect.points] # # Find the intersection for each segment. x.points <- intersect.points + ((x2[intersect.points] - x1[intersect.points]) / (x1.slopes - x2.slopes)) y.points <- x1[intersect.points] + (x1.slopes * (x.points - intersect.points)) # Coerce x.points to the same scale as x x_gap <- data1$x[2] - data1$x[1] x.points <- data1$x[intersect.points] + (x_gap*(x.points - intersect.points)) # Create new data frame and merge to introduce new rows of data data2 <- data.frame(y = c(data1$y, y.points), x = c(data1$x, x.points)) data2 <- data2[order(data2$x),] data3 <- base::merge(data1, data2, by = c("x","y"), all.y = T) data3$y2[is.na(data3$y2)] <- data3$y[is.na(data3$y2)] # Remove missing values for better plotting data3$y[data3$y < data3$y2] <- NA missing_pos <- !stats::complete.cases(data3[c("x", "y", "y2")]) ids <- cumsum(missing_pos) + 1 ids[missing_pos] <- NA # Get the correct positions positions <- data.frame(x = c(data3$x, rev(data3$x)), y = c(data3$y, rev(data3$y2)), ids = c(ids, rev(ids))) # Convert to a format geom2trace is happy with positions <- plotly::group2NA(positions, groupNames = "ids") positions <- positions[stats::complete.cases(positions$ids),] positions <- dplyr::left_join(positions, data[,-c(2,3)], by = "x") if(length(stats::complete.cases(positions$PANEL)) > 1) positions$PANEL <- positions$PANEL[stats::complete.cases(positions$PANEL)][1] if(length(stats::complete.cases(positions$group)) > 1) positions$group <- positions$group[stats::complete.cases(positions$group)][1] # Run the plotly polygon code if(length(unique(positions$PANEL)) == 1){ getFromNamespace("geom2trace.GeomPolygon", asNamespace("plotly"))(positions) } else{ return() } } # Time series ts_res <- heatwaveR::ts2clm(data = heatwaveR::sst_WA, climatologyPeriod = c("1982-01-01", "2011-12-31")) ts_res_sub <- ts_res[10500:10800,] # Flame Figure p <- ggplot(data = ts_res_sub, aes(x = t, y = temp)) + heatwaveR::geom_flame(aes(y2 = thresh), n = 5, n_gap = 2) + geom_line(aes(y = temp)) + geom_line(aes(y = seas), colour = "green") + geom_line(aes(y = thresh), colour = "red") + labs(x = "", y = "Temperature (°C)") # Create interactive visuals ggplotly(p) ```
