Access to the 'RESOURCECODE' Hindcast Database.

Resourcecode

The goal of {resourcecode} is to provide an easy access to the Resourcecode hindcast database of sea-states. More information on the database can be found here. This website only contains information about the way to retrieve data from this data base and the functionalities offred by this package.

Installation

This package depends on data in a data package {resourcecodedata} that is available through a drat repository on GitHub. To use the {resourcecode} package, you will need to install {resourcecodedata} on your computer, using the following install.packages function (and later update it using the update.packages function):

install.packages('resourcecodedata',
                 repos='https://resourcecode-project.github.io/drat/',
                 type='source')

The {resourcecode} package is not yet on CRAN. Meanwhile, you can install the development version of {resourcecode} like so:

devtools::install_github("Resourcecode-project/r-resourcecode")

Examples

Plot the bathymetry used in the project

library(resourcecode)
library(resourcecodedata)
resourcecode::rscd_mapplot(rscd_field$depth, name = "Depth (m)", transform = "sqrt")

See the variables available in the database:

head(rscd_variables)
#>        name         longname         unit
#> 1 longitude        longitude  degree_east
#> 2  latitude         latitude degree_north
#> 3       tri              tri             
#> 4    MAPSTA       status map            1
