Climate

The Climate class contains various climate data. All data items are associated with a node of the SCellGrid.

Initially the climate data was used to calculate net primary production. Currently the climate data is not used in QHG because there are simulated NPP data sets for the past.

Code:
Climate.h
Climate.cpp

Public Methods

constructor

Climate(uint iNumCells, climatecount iNumSeasons, Geography *pGeography);
iNumCells

Number of grid cells.

iNumSeasons

Number of seasons.

pGeography

Pointer to a Geography object.

The constructor allocates the arrays by calling prepareArrays().

destructor

virtual ~Climate();

The destructor deletes all allocated arrays.

prepareArrays

void prepareArrays();

This method allocates all arrays needed by this class.

setSeason

void setSeason(climatecount iSeason=0);

Sets current season (only used if there is different climate data for various seasons).

resetUpdated

inline void resetUpdated() { m_bUpdated = false; };

Reset update state.
