Hi,

I'm attempting to add a "Julian Day" column to a data frame.

Here is my code and the resulting data frame:

        vic.data <- read.table("C:/VIC/data/vic.data.csv", header=F)
        names(vic.data) <- c("year", "month", "day", "precip", "evap", 
"runoff", "baseflow", "Tsup", "SM1", "SM2", "SM3", "SWE")
 
        vic.data$temp.date <- as.Date(paste(vic.data$year, "/", 
vic.data$month, "/", vic.data$day, sep=""))
        vic.data$julian.day <- julian(vic.data$temp.date, origin = 
as.Date("1900-01-01"))[1]
        head(vic.data)

  year month day precip   evap runoff baseflow     Tsup     SM1     SM2  
SM3      SWE  temp.date julian.day
1 1916     1   1   0.00 0.0789      0   0.5037 -15.9907 20.2285 63.4011 
296.9437 214.7537 1916-01-01       5843
2 1916     1   2   0.00 0.1135      0   0.5030 -14.1946 20.1619 63.3425 
296.5659 214.7009 1916-01-02       5843
3 1916     1   3  29.74 0.1584      0   0.5024 -11.1894 20.0998 63.2817 
296.1864 244.0971 1916-01-03       5843
4 1916     1   4  11.37 0.2056      0   0.5017 -12.9745 20.0416 63.2194 
295.8052 255.3145 1916-01-04       5843
5 1916     1   5   0.00 0.1467      0   0.5011 -15.1542 19.9866 63.1561 
295.4224 255.2361 1916-01-05       5843
6 1916     1   6   0.00 0.0939      0   0.5004 -12.5409 19.9345 63.0922 
295.0379 255.2084 1916-01-06       5843


As you can see, the "temp.date" column behaves as expected, but the 
"julian.day" column is populated with the Julian day value from 1/1/1916.

Please help me out if you have some ideas.

Thanks,
Sean
