Predefined GeoRegions in GeoRegions.jl

In GeoRegions.jl, there are several predefined sets of GeoRegions.

Adapted from Giorgi & Francisco [2000]

Add the GF_ prefix to the 3-letter IDs given in Giorgi & Francisco [2000] to call GeoRegions adapted from this paper.

Defined in GeoRegions.jl ≥ v1.1

All GF_* domains are defined only in versions ≥1.1

julia
using GeoRegions
GeoRegion("GF_WAF")
The GeoRegion GF_WAF has the following properties:
    Region ID     (ID) : GF_WAF
    Parent ID    (pID) : GLB
    Name        (name) : Western Africa
    Bounds   (N,S,E,W) : 20.0, -15.0, 25.0, -20.0
    Rotation       (θ) : 0.0
    File Path   (path) : /home/runner/work/GeoRegions.jl/GeoRegions.jl/src/.files/GF/GF_WAF.json
    Centroid (geometry.centroid) : [2.5, 2.5]
    Shape       (geometry.shape) : Vector{Point{2, Float64}}(5)

SREX Regions adapted from Seneviratne et al. [2012]

Add the SREX_ prefix to the 3-letter IDs given in Seneviratne et al. [2012] to call GeoRegions adapted from this paper.

Defined in GeoRegions.jl ≥ v2

All SREX_* domains are defined only in versions ≥2

Changes to SREX IDs in GeoRegions.jl ≥ v8

Previous versions of GeoRegions.jl used the prefix SRX_*. As of GeoRegions.jl ≥v8, the prefix has been changed to SREX_*

julia
using GeoRegions
GeoRegion("SREX_CNA")
The GeoRegion SREX_CNA has the following properties:
    Region ID     (ID) : SREX_CNA
    Parent ID    (pID) : GLB
    Name        (name) : Central North America
    Bounds   (N,S,E,W) : 50.0, 28.6, -85.0, -105.0
    Rotation       (θ) : 0.0
    File Path   (path) : /home/runner/work/GeoRegions.jl/GeoRegions.jl/src/.files/SREX/SREX_CNA.json
    Centroid (geometry.centroid) : [-95.0, 39.3]
    Shape       (geometry.shape) : Vector{Point{2, Float64}}(5)

AR6 Regions adapted from Iturbide et al., [2020]

Add the AR6_ prefix to the 3-letter IDs given in Iturbide et al., [2020] to call GeoRegions adapted from this paper.

Defined in GeoRegions.jl ≥ v2

All AR6_* domains are defined only in versions ≥2

julia
using GeoRegions
GeoRegion("AR6_EAS")
The GeoRegion AR6_EAS has the following properties:
    Region ID     (ID) : AR6_EAS
    Parent ID    (pID) : GLB
    Name        (name) : East Asia
    Bounds   (N,S,E,W) : 45.0, 19.5, 152.0, 100.0
    Rotation       (θ) : 0.0
    File Path   (path) : /home/runner/work/GeoRegions.jl/GeoRegions.jl/src/.files/AR6/AR6_EAS.json
    Centroid (geometry.centroid) : [121.98398835516741, 32.57059679767104]
    Shape       (geometry.shape) : Vector{Point{2, Float64}}(8)
