D.1 Question 1

Run the following four expressions to load two vectors named year and co2 into memory

data(co2)
means = aggregate(co2, FUN = mean)
year = as.vector(time(means))
co2 = as.vector(means)

The co2 vector contains \(CO_2\) measurements in the atmosphere, in ppm units, during the period 1959-1997. The year vector contains the corresponding years.
Assuming that the rate of \(CO_2\) increase was constant and equal to the average rate during 1959-1997, calculate the predicted \(CO_2\) concentration during each of the years 1998-2018.
Create a plot (Figure D.1) showing \(CO_2\) concentration as function of time, with:
- Observed values during 1959-1997, based on the year and co2 vectors, in black
- Predicted values during 1998-2018 in blue
Add a point in red showing the true concentration in 2018, which was 409.92.

Read the rainfall.csv file into a data.frame object
Find and print the station names where all nine months are with <10 mm of rainfall

## [1] "Yotveta" "Eilat"

Note: you can define the vector m with month names in your code to subset the columns with monthly rainfall amounts, as shown in Section 4.4.3.

m = c("sep","oct","nov","dec","jan","feb","mar","apr","may")
