Fetching Copernicus data

Download environmental data by variable name, and fill the gaps satellite products leave behind.

accessEnvDat()
Access environmental data from Copernicus Marine Service
fill_satellite_gaps()
Fill satellite gaps with the model equivalent
forecast_variables()
Forecast equivalents of the catalog variables

Matching

The spatiotemporal nearest-feature join, and the columns it adds.

matchData()
Match one set of points to another in space and time
covariate_columns()
Covariate column names in an environmental data object

Resampling

Moving between grids and time steps. Aggregating loses detail, which is the safe direction; interpolating adds cells, not information.

upscale_grid()
Aggregate environmental data onto a coarser grid
downscale_grid()
Interpolate environmental data onto a finer grid
upscale_time()
Aggregate environmental data onto a coarser time step
downscale_time()
Interpolate environmental data onto a finer time step
grid_resolution()
Grid resolution of an environmental data object

Seafloor terrain

Depth, slope, aspect, and TPI from NOAA ETOPO.

fetch_bathymetry()
Fetch static bathymetry for a study area
attach_bathymetry()
Attach static bathymetry to a table of points
bathymetry_variables()
Static seafloor variables

Climate indices

Basin-scale indices, their units, and the cache that expires on each provider’s publishing cadence.

fetch_climate_index()
Fetch a monthly climate index
attach_climate_index()
Attach climate indices to observations
climate_indices()
Catalog of basin-scale climate indices
index_dictionary() print(<datamatch_index_dictionary>)
Printable dictionary of climate indices
climate_index_status() print(<datamatch_index_status>)
What is cached, how old it is, and whether it is due a refresh
refresh_climate_index()
Re-download cached climate indices

Plotting

Base-graphics views of what was downloaded and what it matched to. Each returns the data it drew.

plot_env()
Map an environmental variable
plot_coverage()
Plot how much data each time step actually has
plot_series()
Plot a variable through time
plot_matched()
Plot observations coloured by a matched covariate

Catalogs and lookup

What is available, which dataset a variable comes from, and where it is documented.

variable_dictionary() print(<datamatch_dictionary>)
Printable dictionary of variable names
variable_dataset()
Look up the dataset a set of variables comes from
copernicus_variables()
Catalog of Copernicus variables under familiar names
product_url()
Copernicus Marine product page for a product identifier
as_markdown()
Render a dictionary as a markdown table
