Method Detail

getMinimum

public JigsawQuantity getMinimum(Interval interval)

Returns the minimum humidity over the interval. Humidity readings at either end of the interval are included in the comparison if more than 50% of their duration lies within the interval of interest.

Specified by:

getMinimum in interface ScalarQuantity

Parameters:

interval - the interval of interest

Returns:

the minimum value

getMaximum

public JigsawQuantity getMaximum(Interval interval)

Returns the maximum humidity over the interval. Humidity readings at either end of the interval are included in the comparison if more than 50% of their duration lies within the interval of interest.

Specified by:

getMaximum in interface ScalarQuantity

Parameters:

interval - the interval of interest

Returns:

the maximum value

getInstant

public JigsawQuantity getInstant(Date time)

Returns the instantaneous humidity at a particular point in time. If interpolation is requested, the value may be spatially and/or temporally interpolated from other data.

Specified by:

getInstant in interface ScalarQuantity

Parameters:

time - the time of interest

Returns:

the instantaneous value

getAverage

public JigsawQuantity getAverage(Interval interval)

Returns the average humidity over the interval. Humidity readings at either end of the interval are included by weighting their values according to the proportion of their duration that lies in the period of interest.

Specified by:

getAverage in interface ScalarQuantity

Parameters:

interval - the interval of interest

Returns:

the average value

getAverageDewpoint

public JigsawQuantity getAverageDewpoint(Interval interval)

Returns the average dewpoint temperature over the interval. calculated dewpoints at either end of the interval are included by weighting their values according to the proportion of their duration that lies in the period of interest.

Returns:

the average value

getInstantDewpoint

public JigsawQuantity getInstantDewpoint(Date time)

Returns the instantaneous dewpoint temperature at a particular point in time. If interpolation is requested, the value may be spatially and/or temporally interpolated from other data.

Returns:

the instantaneous value in degrees C
