In MazamaScience/WRFmet: Utilities for working with WRF atmospheric model data

AirFireWRF 0.2.0

This version is for data access only. All plotting functionality has been moved to the **AirFirePlots package.

• Version bump to 0.2
• Minor cleanup.
• Removed wrf_loadTimeSeries() as it takes a ridiculously long time to download enough files to make a timeseries.

AirFireWRF 0.1.16

• Removed plotting functionality and documentation, which is now provided in the AirFirePlots package.
• RasterBricks produced by wrf_loadTimeSeries() now have titles and abbreviated layer names.

AirFireWRF 0.1.15

• Added a modified (but unpublished) version wrf_load() in local_tate/ that allows the user to provide a reference raster whose grid can be used to rasterize WRF spatial data points.

AirFireWRF 0.1.14

• Changed package name and all instances of "WRFmet" to "AirFireWRF".

AirFireWRF 0.1.13

• Changed the wrf_load() vars parameter to varNames for consistency with plot function parameters.
• layer_raster() can now fill according to discrete value ranges.
• wrf_rasterPlot() and wrf_standardPlot() now support discrete value ranges and Brewer palettes to color their rasters.

AirFireWRF 0.1.12

• Tweak to color and line width in layer_vectorField().

AirFireWRF 0.1.11

• wrf_standardPlot() can now plot a contour layer.
• Added line thickness parameters in wrf_standardPlot() for the spatial and state polygon layers.
• Updated wrf_standardPlot() layer color defaults:
• Spatial polygons: color -> "red", fill -> "transparent".
• State polygons: color -> "red", fill -> "transparent".
• Vector field: arrowColor -> "black"
• Removed the ... parameter from both wrf_raster() and wrf_standardPlot() since it was more confusing than helpful (only held additional arguments to ggplot2::scale_fill_gradientn()).

AirFireWRF 0.1.10

• First pass at wrf_loadTimeSeries().

AirFireWRF 0.1.9

• Added new plot layer function: layer_contours().
• Changed layer_spPolys()'s spdf parameter to polygons.
• Added arrowWidth as a parameter to layer_vectorField().
• Added lineWidth as a parameter to layer_states().
• Added lineWidth as a parameter to layer_spPolys().

AirFireWRF 0.1.8

• example_PNW raster now has a proper title.

AirFireWRF 0.1.7

• Changed layer_vectorField() to take in a single raster object raster and the names of its u and v layers: uName and vName.
• Changed layer_raster() to take in an optional varName parameter in case the given raster is a multilayer RasterBrick.
• Changed the names of plot_base(), plot_raster(), and plot_standard() to wrf_basePlot(), wrf_rasterPlot(), and wrf_standardPlot() respectively.
• wrf_rasterPlot() and wrf_standardPlot() plot titles default to their raster title.
• Updated all vignettes and functions, and examples to properly use these new parameters and function names.

AirFireWRF 0.1.6

• wrf_load() now sets the title of the loaded RasterBrick to the format: "[model domain] yyyy-mm-dd hh[am/pm], Hour [forecast hour]"

AirFireWRF 0.1.5

• Changed default polygon fill from 'white' to 'transparent' for layer_states() and layer_spPolys().

AirFireWRF 0.1.4

• Added ability to download and load PNW-1.33km WRF files.
• plot_standard() now supports drawing both U.S. state polygons and generic _SpatialPolygonDataFrame_s.
• wrf_load() now has a variable preset for AirFire.
• Removed parameters fillLow and fillHigh from plot_standard() and plot_raster() to instead support parameters for ggplot2::scale_fill_gradientn().
• layer_vectorField()
• No longer supports the uvRaster parameter.
• Changed parameters uLayer and vLayer to uRaster and vRaster.
• Properly resamples cropped rasters.
• Hid plot_base() from users.

AirFireWRF 0.1.3

• Added "Saving Data Subsets" article.
• Renamed the sample_PNW dataset to example_PNW.

AirFireWRF 0.1.2

• First pass at standard plotting functions plot_base() and plot_raster().
• Added layer_~() functions to build up ggplot plots: layer_raster(), layer_spPolys(), layer_states(), layer_points(), layer_vectorField().
• Added wrf_download() and wrf_downloaded().
• Added wrf_latestModelRun() to list available model runs.

AirFireWRF 0.1.1

• Added "Static Layered Plots" article.

AirFireWRF 0.1.0

• Initial Release
