master: Master dataset combining the wildfires, AQI, and climate data...

Description Usage Format

Description

The master dataframe takes each wildfire occurrence in California between 2011 through 2015, and joins the AQI and climate data for 30 days prior to the DISCOVERY_DATE (fire discovery date) and 30 days post CONT_DATE (fire contained date). The data is utilized by the Shiny app to create dashboards.
