wxgenR - GHCN CONUS evaluation

A weather generator is a numerical tool that resamples a daily time series of precipitation, temperature, and season many times, while preserving observed or projected characteristics of importance, such as the statistics of the transition between wet and dry days. The resulting large group, or ensemble, of likely rainfall and temperature time series represents a range of possible amounts, daily patterns, and seasonality. This weather generator is, to our knowledge, novel in that it includes seasons (up to 26) in training the simulation algorithm.

The goal of wxgenR is to provide users a tool that can simulate, with fidelity, an ensemble of precipitation and temperature based on training data that could include, for example, station based point measurements, grid cell values derived from models or remotely sensed data, or basin averages. The incorporation of seasonality as a covariate in the training algorithm allows users to examine the effects of shifts in seasonality due to climate warming (e.g., earlier snowmelt seasons or prolonged summer dry periods). wxgenR is an effective and robust scenario planning tool for a wide variety of potential futures.

Running `wxgenR`

All that is needed to run wxgenR is a single time series of precipitation, temperature, and season. Up to 20 seasons may be defined, but most users will likely only need two to four based on their study region. For example, wxgenR is provided with basin-average data from nine different GHCN gauges within the conterminous United States. Within the data used to train the weather generator, four standard seasons are set (spring, summer, autumn, winter) for each day in the time series. The varying statistics of each season will impact the resulting simulations.

Tutorial

For example, using the GHCN precipitation, temperature, and season data, we can generate simulated precipitation and temperature for any desired time length and ensemble size. Your variables must be named as the following: ‘year’, ‘month’, ‘day’, ‘prcp’, ‘temp’, ‘season’, whether they are input as a dataframe or a text file. All input variables must be contained within the same dataframe or text file. If inputting a text file, it must be comma separated (.csv). The weather generator can handle NA values for precipitation or temperature, but all other variables should be numeric values.

Step 2: Select your run settings and run the weather generator

Use the variables within the wx() function like syr and eyr (start and end year) to set the temporal boundaries from which to sample, otherwise, if left empty the start and end years will default to the beginning and end of your training data. Use nsim to set the length (in years) of your simulated weather, and nrealz to set the ensemble size (number of traces).

The variable wwidth will set the sampling window for each day of year (Jan. 1 through Dec. 31) for every year in the simulation. The sampling window for each day of year is +/- wwidth + 1, effectively sampling wwidth number of days before and after each day of year, including that day of year. A lower value for wwidth will sample fewer surrounding days and a higher value will sample more days, resulting in dampened and heightened variability, respectively. Typical setting of wwidth is between 1 and 15, resulting in a daily sampling window of 3 days and 31 days, respectively. Generally, higher and lower values of wwidth result in higher and lower variance, respectively, in the simulated data.

For example, to simulate precipitation on day 1 of the simulation (Jan. 1 of year 1), with wwidth = 1 (a 3-day window), the algorithm will sample days in the training record between (and including) December 31 and January 2 (for all years in the training record). For day 2 of the simulation (Jan. 2 of year 1), the algorithm will sample days in the training record between January 1 and January 3. Simulation day 3 (Jan. 3) will sample between January 2 and January 4, and so on. Increasing wwidth to 2 (a 5-day window) will sample between December 30 and January 3 for Jan. 1 simulations, December 31 to January 4 for Jan. 2, and January 1 to January 5 for Jan. 3, and so on.

In some cases, the wwidth will be automatically increased through an adaptive window width if precipitation occurred on a given day but there were less than two daily precipitation values over 0.01 inches during the window for that day. wwidth will adaptively increase by 1 until two or more daily precipitation values over 0.01 inches are in each window. Adaptive window width is most likely to occur in regions with high aridity, dry seasons, a small initial value of wwidth is used, or if the number of years in the training data is relatively short (e.g., less than 30 years). To display the results of the adaptive window width, set awinFlag = T.

Here, our training data spans January 1, 2000 through the end of the GHCN record so syr is set to be 2000 or greater. We want a simulation length of 23-years (nsim) in order to match the length of the historical record and 2 traces in our ensemble (nrealz = 2) for brevity. Sampling for each day of the year will sample from the preceding 3-days, the day of, and the following 3-days (wwidth = 3) for a total window size of 7-days.

We may also want to increase the variability of our simulated precipitation by sampling outside the historical envelope with an Epanechnikov Kernel (ekflag = T). For more details on the Epanechnikov kernel and its use in a weather generator, see Rajagopalan et al. (1996). Setting tempPerturb = T will increase the variability of the simulated temperature by adding random noise from a normal distribution fit using a mean of zero and a standard deviation equal to the monthly standard deviation of simulated temperature residuals. Given that simulated daily temperature at time t is a function of temperature(t-1), cosine(t), sine(t), precipitation occurrence(t), and monthly mean temperature(t), the standard deviation of daily residuals from this model is calculated for each month and used to add random noise to the simulated temperature. The temperature simulation approach is inspired by- and adapted from- Verdin et al. (2015, 2018).

Since the training data has units of inches and degrees Fahrenheit for precipitation and temperature, respectively, we must set unitSystem = "U.S. Customary".

#   }

The wx() function will return a list containing both your input/training data, and a variety of processed outputs, named here as the variable z. Within z, dat.d is the original input data as well as some intermediary variables. simyr1 contains the years within your training data that were sampled to generate simulated values for each trace. X is the occurrence of daily precipitation for each trace, where 1 and 0 indicate the presence and absence of precipitation, respectively. Xseas is the season index for each day and trace. Xpdate shows which days from the training data were sampled for each simulated day and trace, if precipitation was simulated to occur on a given day. Xpamt is the simulated precipitation amount for each day and trace. Xtemp is the simulated temperature for each day and trace.

Generally, Xpamt and Xtemp will be of most interest to users as these are the desired outputs of simulated daily precipitation and temperature.

wxgenR - GHCN CONUS evaluation - in sample

Subhrendu Gangopadhyay, Lindsay Bearup, David Woodson, Andrew Verdin, Eylon Shamir, Eve Halper, Marketa McGuire

2024-06-12

Running `wxgenR`

Tutorial

Step 1: Load your data

Step 2: Select your run settings and run the weather generator

Pre-processing was done on the GHCN station data using the following code (not run here):

Read in pre-processed GHCN station data

Rename data

run loop of wxgenR on each station

Option to create output directories for plots and data (not run)

Option to save simulation data or read in previously created data (not run)

Step 3: Analyze simulated weather

First, use modified approach from writeSim function to post-process/format output

Option to save post-processed simulation results or read in previously saved data (not run)

Rename two stations for better readability

plot monthly precipitation

plot monthly temperature

plot monthly precipitation

plot temp

We can also calculate dry- and wet- spell length statistics for further verification.
