The package requires formatted hourly weather data in a format which the model recognises. ### Format weather station data Included in the package is a weather data set from a station adjacent to a sugar beet field trial. The weather data is first cleaned into to a format that the model can use without returning errors due to inconsistencies and `NAs`, which are common in weather data. This will require the user to think about how to replace the `NAs` or state default values to complete the data set. ```{r prep_wdata} # classify to data.table wthr <- data.table(weathr) # Use POSIXct formatted time. wthr[,Time := as.POSIXct(paste0(Datum, " ",Stunde,":00"),tz = "UTC")] # Nominate Latitude and Longitude location of the weather station. # While not needed in cercospoRa some plant disease models will use location to # decide the closest weather station to pull weather from wthr[, c("lon","lat") := list(9.916,51.41866)] # weather is hourly and will error if we don't specify a standard deviation of # weather direction. This is intentional to force the user to decide how variable # the wind direction data could be. wthr[, wd_std := 20] # remove all data after September as it contains missing data wthr <- wthr[Datum < as.POSIXct("2022-10-01")] # set NA wind speed values to zero wthr[is.na(WG200), WG200 := 0] # set NA wind direction values to 20 degrees. # Wind is not important for this model wthr[is.na(WR200),WR200 := 20] ``` Now we can use the `format_weather()` function. ```{r format_wdata} wthr <- format_weather(wthr, POSIXct_time = "Time", time_zone = "UTC", temp = "T200", rain = "N100", rh = "F200", wd = "WR200", ws = "WG200", station = "Station", lon = "lon", lat = "lat", wd_sd = "wd_std", data_check = FALSE # this stops the function from checking for faults ) # As the data is formatted closely enough for what is expected for the model. # We can elect to turn the data_check off so ``` ## Calculate epidemic onset The following function calculates the earliest date from which a cercospora leaf spot epidemic could commence. `start` and `end` provide the time window for which the model should run. Canopy closure (`c_closure`) indicates when the model should start point for the model. This is due to an observation by Wolf canopy closure pr This date is determined by the negative prognosis models to be the last day for which a epidemic is likely not to start. ```{r} cercospoRa::calc_epidemic_onset(start = as.POSIXct("2022-04-25",tz = "UTC"), end = as.POSIXct("2022-09-30",tz = "UTC"), c_closure = as.POSIXct("2022-07-01",tz = "UTC"), weather = wthr) ``` ## Estimate canopy closure Canopy closure is traditionally observed manually. The following methods permits canopy closure date estimation from remotely sensed data. UAV or satellite data can be used to produce georeferenced leaf area index (LAI) rasters. ```{r} # Get file location of example rasters with LAI values image_files <- list.files(system.file("extdata", "uav_img",package = "cercospoRa"), pattern = "tif", full.names = TRUE) # Read in data and check for consistency epidemic_onset_param <- read_sb_growth_parameter(img_files = image_files, img_dates = as.POSIXct(c("2022-06-14","2022-06-28"), tz = "UTC"), target_res = 10) epidemic_onset_param ``` The next function calculates the sugar beet growth rate. ```{r} param_rxt <- calc_r_x0(epidemic_onset_param, min_r = 0.02, max_r = 0.05, k = 6) ``` Calculate canopy closure uses a logistic regression to estimate the canopy closure date for each raster cell. ```{r} canopy_closure <- calc_c_closure(param_rxt, x1 = 1.3, k=6) ``` Finally we can use a specialised wrapper function to calculate the earliest possible onset of a cercospora leaf spot epidemic when chemical intervention might be needed. ```{r} epidemic_onset_map <- calc_epidemic_onset_from_image(start =as.POSIXct("2022-04-25",tz = "UTC"), end = as.POSIXct("2022-09-30",tz = "UTC"), c_closure = canopy_closure, weather = wthr) epidemic_onset_map ``` plot the heterogeneity of onset date ```{r} terra::plot(epidemic_onset_map) ``` Convert numeric date back to POSIXct format ```{r} as.POSIXct(terra::values(epidemic_onset_map)[120:130], tz = "UTC", origin = "1970-01-01") ```
