calculate_SST_anomaly: Calculate SST anomaly

In marinebon/nms4r: Office of National Marine Sanctuaries functions for dataset-specific wrangling and plotting in R

Calculate SST anomaly

Description

This function calculates the SST anomaly for every month of SST data and then writes that out to a csv file that will later be used to produce a SST anomaly figure. The approach used here is based on Reed et al. 2016, Nature Communications. Using the first 15 full years of data from the SST data set (2003-2017), an average SST value is generated for every month of the year. Then the average SST value for the appropriate month is subtracted from every value in the SST dataset.

Usage

calculate_SST_anomaly(sanct)

Arguments

sanct

The NMS sanctuary, with only the value "cinms" currently doing anything.

Value

The output is a csv file containing the time series anomaly data.

Examples

## Not run: 
calculate_SST_anomaly("cinms")
