processEnsemble

List with parsed information about the directory structure for
a specific ensemble member from the user-specified projections directory.
This list is a subset of the list generated by
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/acquireDirectoryStructure?package=futureheatwaves&version=1.0.3" data-mini-rdoc="futureheatwaves::acquireDirectoryStructure">acquireDirectoryStructure</a></code>.

ensemble

Character string of climate model name (e.g., "bcc1"). This
name is generated from the subdirectory name for the climate model within
<code>dataFolder</code>.

modelName

An list object created by <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> that
includes user specifications (e.g., the path to the output directory, the
path to the input climate projections, the dataframe with city
locations).

global

An list object created by <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> that
includes user specifications (e.g., the name of the R function to
use to identify heat waves, alternative upper and lower year boundaries
for the data used to determine threshold temperatures for the heat wave
definition, alternative upper and lower year boundaries
for the projection period of the heat wave datasets being generated).

custom

A character vector giving the type of boundaries that are being
checked. Possible values are "threshold", "projections", and "reference".

type


This function extracts the desired climate data from a single ensemble
member, from one of the two experiment subdirectories.


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
