NPS Inventory and Monitoring Environmental Setting Toolkit - v2.1

The Environmental Setting Toolkit (ESToolkit) functions request weather stations and gridded data (PRISM) around NPS parks and weather observation data for metrics used in the draft national IMD Environmental Setting protocol from Applied Climate Information System (ACIS) webservices. The generic functions findStation(), getWxObservations(), and getGrids() can be used independently of the protocol to get stations and observation data for non-protocol use. In other words, the data responses are not limited to the metrics of the protocol.

This release includes functions to generate station and gridded (non-index) metrics, plus bug fixes. These capabilities will be added to the Python section of the Toolkit in the next release;

For examples of protocol metrics, see ES_StationMetricExamples.pdf and ES_GriddedMetricExamples.pdf files in the ES_Toolkit_R folder. The R version of the toolkit includes extensive RDoc documentation.

To install the Toolkit package in R, use the instructions in the README file in the ESToolkit_R folder.

This toolkit began as the IM_Climate toolkit (2016-2017).

This toolkit began as the IM_Climate toolkit (2016-2017). For version 2.0, the ESToolkit is written in R as a package. Subsequent versions will be written in both R and Python (as a library).

For examples of protocol metrics, see the RMarkdown notebook ES Toolkit Example.rmd. The R version of the toolkit includes extensive RDoc documentation.
