Overview

Created originally as a companion ofrsplash, splashTools is collection of useful functions and wrappers designed to download and pre-process datasets for ecohydrological analysis or simulation frameworks

Features

• aggRaster: computes daily to monthly aggregation in large grid datasets in paralell
• clipGrid: crops and masks a raster object with a polygon
• clipPointGrid: subset a sp dataframe using a raster value as conditional
• cloud2Rad: computes shortwave radiation from cloudiness
• downscaleKrige: downscales grid-type datasets using kriging
• downscaleRLM: downscales grid-type datasets using linear models
• downscaleSolar: downscales shortwave radiation datasets using the theoretical effect terrain features
• getForcingNRCS: downloads forcing data from the US NRCS database
• getGLMchelsa: Automates the download of CHELSA downscaled datasets of the CMIP5
• getSoilGrid: downloads grid datasets, from soilgrids.org, computes a weigthed average acording to the depth intervals
• getSoilNRCS: search and download measured soil data close to US SNOTEL stations
• getSoilSite: wrapper of the REST API to query data from soilgrids.org
• krigeForcing: automates the kriging of timeseries in parallel
• readFluxdata: reads subdaily data from fluxnet or ameriflux, makes xts dataframe with daytime daily timeseries
