In sbashevkin/discretewq: Integrated Dataset of Discrete Water Quality in the San Francisco Estuary

discretewq (development version)

• Added DOP water quality data.
• Updated baystudy dataset.

discretewq 2.4.0

• Added temperature and conductivity to USGS_CAWSC
• Added DO and pH data to all surveys that collect this data. USGS_SFBS collects both calculated (from a sensor) and discrete DO, so we used discrete DO up to 2016 and calculated DO afterwards to mirror the methodological change that occurred in the EMP survey in 2016.
• Updated to newest EMP data with some historical data issues fixed.
• Added NCRO laboratory and water quality data
• Added bottom conductivity to twentymm, baystudy, SDO, FMWT, and STN
• Added turbidity to EMP, FMWT, and STN
• Fixed timezones for SDO data. SDO times are reported in PST but had incorrectly been imported as local time (PST/PDT). Now, they are imported as Etc/GMT+8 and then converted to America/Los_Angeles to correspond to the other surveys.
• Updated STN, FMWT, EDSM, DJFMP, SLS, Suisun, EMP, USGS_SFBS, USGS_CAWSC, YBFMP, SKT, 20mm, baystudy, and SDO datasets
• Removed rows from FMWT and STN datasets that did not contain any water quality information

discretewq 2.3.2

• Fixing error where YBFMP Secchi data was in meters. Converted it to cm for consistency with other surveys.
• Adding Secchi_estimated variable to FMWT data

discretewq 2.3.1

discretewq 2.3.0

• Changed the name of the USGS survey to USGS_SFBS to avoid confusion with the new USGS_CAWSC survey.
• Added USGS_CAWSC data.

discretewq 2.2.0

• Add reporting limits (RLs) to EMP data.
• Updated STN data to newest version with 2021 data

discretewq 2.1.0

• Added nutrient data to EMP and USGS datasets.

discretewq 2.0.0

• Added the Yolo Bypass Fish Monitoring Program data
• Added Stockton Dissolved Oxygen survey as an additional data source
• Removed duplicated water quality data from suisun data
• Added Smelt Larva Survey as an additional data source
• Tweaked the wq function interface to force users to specify data sources, in preparation for adding more sources.
• Updated the DJFMP, EDSM, EMP, FMWT, SKT, STN, USGS, 20mm, Suisun datasets to their latest version

discretewq 1.1.0

• Fixed timezones for EMP data. EMP times are reported in PST but had incorrectly been imported as local time (PST/PDT). Now, they are imported as Etc/GMT+8 and then converted to America/Los_Angeles to correspond to the other surveys.

discretewq 1.0.1

discretewq 1.0.0

• Publishing to link with data publication.

discretewq 0.2.0

• Fixing one tide value of 0 from SKT by converting it to NA.

discretewq 0.1.0

• Undoing previous DJFMP change and now retaining all DJFMP data (except duplicates at the same date and time)
• Changing EDSM station variable to reflect each unique random 'site' so it is possible to identify replicate tows at the same location
• Tweaked USBR data to retain the average sample time across all depths (previously it used the earliest sample time).
• Tweaked DJFMP data to keep the datapoint closest to noon of each day (previously it was averaging across all time points)
• Added conductivity data from EDSM and DJFMP after 06/01/2019 when it was standardized to specific conductivity
• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
