SWMP_StatusReport

This repo is for the R scripts, data, and associated files needed to produce status reports for the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) reserves on an annual basis based off of their System-Wide Monitoring Program (SWMP, pronounces "swamp") data.

The reports rely heavily on the SWMPrExtension (https://github.com/NOAA-OCM/SWMPrExtension) and SWMPr (https://github.com/fawda123/SWMPr) libraries.

The status report code was developed by LimnoTech, Inc., as a contracted service through the NERRS Science COllaborative (http://www.nerrssciencecollaborative.org/) for the NOAA Office for Coastal Management. The process was overseen and guided by a broad range of NERRS members representing different roles and geographies.

Repo Organization and General Instructions

Status reports can be produced at the level of individual reserves or at a National level. R projects for each type report are found in the appropriately named subdirecty of this repo. Detailed directions are given for creating each report in a pdf document located in the /doc subdirectory for each type.

Note: Before creating an Annual Report, all reserve-level reports will need to be run. Running reserve-level reports creates the analyzed input needed for the annual report.

The CDMO_Automation subdirectory contains PowerShell scripts, R scripts, and other files needed for automatically creating all reserve templates in a batch fashion at the NERRS Centralized Data Management Office ( CDMO, http://cdmo.baruch.sc.edu/).

Data Access and Format

The SWMPr library require SWMP data to be downloaded from the CDMO Advanced Query System (http://cdmo.baruch.sc.edu/aqs/zips.cfm) using the Zip Downloads interface (http://cdmo.baruch.sc.edu/aqs/zips.cfm). Data downloaded in other formats will require additional steps, not documented as part of this package, to work with SWMPr and, therefore, the whole status report generation workflow.
