Load most recent WRCC monitoring data

Source: R/wrcc_loadLatest.R

Loads pre-generated .rda files containing the most recent WRCC data.

If archiveDataDir is defined, data will be loaded from this local archive. Otherwise, data will be loaded from the monitoring data repository maintained by the USFS AirFire team.

The files loaded by this function are updated multiple times an hour and contain data for the previous 10 days.

For daily updates covering the most recent 45 days, use wrcc_loadDaily().

For data extended more than 45 days into the past, use wrcc_loadAnnual().

wrcc_loadLatest(
  archiveBaseUrl = paste0("https://airfire-data-exports.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/",
    "monitoring/v2"),
  archiveBaseDir = NULL,
  QC_negativeValues = c("zero", "na", "ignore"),
  QC_removeSuspectData = TRUE
)

Arguments

archiveBaseUrl

Base URL for monitoring v2 data files.

archiveBaseDir

Local base directory for monitoring v2 data files.

QC_negativeValues

Type of QC to apply to negative values.

QC_removeSuspectData

Removes monitors determined to be misbehaving.

Value

A mts_monitor object with WRCC data. (A list with meta and data dataframes.)

Note

Some older WRCC timeseries contain only values of 0, 1000, 2000, 3000, ... ug/m3. Data from these deployments pass instrument-level QC checks but these timeseries generally do not represent valid data and should be removed. With QC_removeSuspectData = TRUE (the default), data is checked and periods reporting only values of 0:10 * 1000 ug/m3 are invalidated.

Only those personally familiar with the individual instrument deployments should work with the "suspect" data.
