Temperature MinMax

With the new function MinMax, the minimum and maximum values of a list can now be extracted at the same time.

A temperature dataset for the city of Yakutsk over a period of 15 years is generated.

In[1]:=

data = AirTemperatureData[ Entity["City", {"Yakutsk", "Yakutia", "Russia"}], {{2001, 01}, {2015, 12}, "Month"}]

Out[1]=

The resulting time series can be visualized with DateListPlot.

In[2]:=

DateListPlot[data, FrameLabel -> Automatic]

Out[2]=

These are the maximum and minimum temperatures over the period of 15 years.

In[3]:=

periodextrema = MinMax[data]

Out[3]=

This gives the maximum and minimum temperatures for each year.

In[4]:=

yearextrema = MovingMap[MinMax, data, {Quantity[1, "Years"], Right, Quantity[1, "Years"]}]

Out[4]=

Extract the extrema values of the first year.

In[5]:=

yearextrema["FirstValue"]

Out[5]=

Plot their variations over the period of 15 years.

In[6]:=

DateListPlot[yearextrema, PlotMarkers -> Automatic]

Out[6]=
