countyweather (version 0.1.0)

hourly_stationmap: Plot hourly weather stations for a particular county.

Description

Produces a ggplot object mapping stations that contribute to the weather data returned by hourly_data.

Usage

hourly_stationmap(fips, hourly_data, point_color = "firebrick", point_size = 2, station_label = FALSE)

Arguments

fips

A five-digit FIPS county code.

hourly_data

A list returned from the function hourly_df.

point_color

Character string with color for points mapping the locations of weather stations (passes to ggplot).

point_size

Character string with size for for points mapping the locations of weather stations (passes to ggplot).

station_label

TRUE / FALSE Whether to include labels for each weather station.

Value

A ggplot object mapping all weather stations for a particular county that satisfy the conditions present in hourly_df's arguments (year(s), coverage, and/or weather variables). Because hourly data is pulled by radius from each county's geograph center, this plot includes the calculated radius from which stations are pulled for that county. This radius is calculated for each county using 2010 U.S. Census Land Area data. 2011 U.S. Census cartographic boundary shapefiles are used to proved county outlines, included on this plot as well. Note: Because stations are pulled within a radius from the county's geographic center, depending on the shape of the county, weather stations from outside the county's boundaries may sometimes be providing data for that county and some weather stations within the county may not be included.

# hourly_stationmap("12086", hourly_data)
