PowerSDI

Calculates the Standardised Precipitation (SPI) and Standardised Precipitation-Evapotranspiration (SPEI) indices using NASA POWER data.

Basic Description

The PowerSDI is an R package capable of calculating the SPI and SPEI using NASA POWER data. The package is based on five R-functions designed to calculate these two standardised drought indices (SDI) in scientific and operational/routine modes. The functions ScientSDI(), Accuracy(), Reference() and, PlotData() may be used to assess, among other features, the ability of the SPI and SPEI frequency distributions to meet the normality assumption and how well NASA POWER estimates represent “real-world” data. The OperatSDI() function calculates both SPI and SPEI in an operational mode.

The PowerSDI adopts a basic time scale that splits each month into four subperiods: days 1 to 7, days 8 to 14, days 15 to 21, and days 22 to 28, 29, 30, or 31 depending on the month. For instance, if TS=4, the time scale corresponds to a moving window with a 1-month length that is calculated four times each month. If TS=48, the time scale corresponds to a moving window with a 12-month length that is calculated four times each month. This time scale is referred to as “quart.month”.

The package depends on R (>= 3.10) and R packages {nasapower} and {lmom}.

Installation
devtools::install_github("gabrielblain/PowerSDI")
Basic Instructions Function ScientSDI()

Helps the users to verify if the SPI and SPEI calculated from NASA POWER data meet the conceptual assumptions expected from standardised drought indices.

Usage
ScientSDI(
  lon,
  lat,
  start.date,
  end.date,
  distr = "GEV",
  TS = 4,
  Good = "Yes",
  sig.level = 0.95,
  RainUplim = NULL,
  RainLowlim = NULL,
  PEUplim = NULL,
  PELowlim = NULL
)
Arguments Value

A list with data calculated at the time scale selected by the user. If Good="Yes", this list includes:

If Good="No", this list includes: * SDI and * DistPar.

This function also presents other data (in millimetres) calculated from the NASA POWER project:

Examples
ScientSDI(
  lon = -47.3,
  lat = -22.67,
  start.date = "1991-01-01",
  end.date = "2022-12-31"
)
Function Accuracy()

Verifies how well NASA-POWER data actually represent real-world/observed data.

Usage
Accuracy(obs_est, conf.int = "Yes", sig.level = 0.95)
Arguments Value Examples
data("ObsEst")
Accuracy(obs_est = ObsEst, conf.int = "Yes", sig.level = 0.95)
Function OperatSDI()

Generates routine operational NASA-SPI and NASA-SPEI estimates in several regions and at distinct time scales.

Usage
OperatSDI(
  lon,
  lat,
  start.date,
  end.date,
  PEMethod = "HS",
  distr = "GEV",
  parms,
  TS = 4
)
Arguments Value

A data frame with:

Examples
data("DistPar")
OperatSDI(
  lon = -47.3,
  lat = -22.67,
  start.date = "2023-01-31",
  end.date = "2023-07-07",
  parms = DistPar
)
Function PlotData()

Generates scatter plots of rainfall and accumulated potential evapotranspiration.

Usage
PlotData(lon, lat, start.date, end.date)
Arguments Value

Scatter plots of: * Rainfall and * potential evapotranspiration accumulated at the 1-quart.month time scale.

Examples
PlotData(
  lon = -47.3,
  lat = -22.87,
  start.date = "2021-12-28",
  end.date = "2022-12-31"
)
Function Reference()

Calculates both SPI and SPEI from daily data obtained from a ground weather station or any other reference source.

Usage
Reference(ref, distr = "GEV", PEMethod = "HS", TS = 4)
Arguments Value

A data frame with: * Rain, * potential evapotranspiration, * difference between rainfall and potential evapotranspiration, * SPI and SPEI calculated at the time scale selected by the user.

Examples
data("refHS")
Reference(ref = refHS, distr = "GEV, PEMethod = "HS", TS = 4)
