checkCustomBounds

A set of boundary years in the format
c(start year, end year).

boundList

A list object, with two elements, one for each of the
two subdirectories included in the main directory. Typically, these will
be separate directories of historical and projection experiments from
climate models. Each element of the list should be named with the name of
the subdirectory and should provide a numeric vector with the starting and
ending years of the data within each of the two subdirectories (e.g.,
<code>list("historical" = c(1990, 1999), "rcp85" = c(2060, 2079))</code>
for a <code>dataFolder</code> with historical experiment data for 1990 to 1999
and RCP8.5 projections for 2060 to 2079).

This function inputs the boundary lists specified in
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/gen_hw_set?package=futureheatwaves&version=1.0.3" data-mini-rdoc="futureheatwaves::gen_hw_set">gen_hw_set</a></code>, <code>thresholdBoundaries</code>,
<code>projectionBoundaries</code>, and
<code>referenceBoundaries</code>, and checks them for errors in structure of the
input or in the years selected.


Inputs a directory of climate projection files and, for each,
identifies and characterizes heat waves for specified study locations. The
definition used to identify heat waves can be customized. Heat wave
characterizations include several metrics of heat wave length, intensity,
and timing in the year. The heat waves that are identified can be
explored using a function to apply user-created functions across all
generated heat wave files.This work was supported in part by grants from
the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (R00ES022631), the
National Science Foundation (1331399), and the Colorado State University
Vice President for Research.
