Dear list members,
allow me to briefly draw your attention towards the latest release of
the 'gimms' package (gimms-1.0.0). Quite some time has passed since the
last update, but now that version 1 of the AVHRR-based GIMMS NDVI record
(NDVI3g.v1; until end 2015) has been made available, some adjustments
were overdue. Among those are (taken from the NEWS file):
* Added support for the recently released NDVI3g.v1 to all package
functions.
* Included local file inventories for all available GIMMS products
(NDVI3g.v0
and NDVI3g.v1) and their respective servers (ECOCAST, NASANEX).
* Quality control has been added to rasterizeGimms() through specifying
permitted flag values ('keep'), rendering the subsequent application of a
separate function unnecessary. For reasons of convenience, however,
qualityControl() is still available.
* rasterizeGimms() now includes an extent argument ('ext') to enable
clipping
based on raster::crop().
* Scaling and the rejection of water and nodata-mask values are no longer
optional.
* If 'timestamp = TRUE', monthlyIndices() now returns an object of class
'Date'
(instead of 'character') and '...' is no longer available.
In addition, the accompanying GitBook has been updated which provides a
rather quick-and-dirty introduction to the subject. It is reachable via
https://www.gitbook.com/book/envin-marburg/introducing-the-r-gimms-package/details.
Feedback and suggestions are always welcome, and feature requests and/or
bug reports should be filed at
https://github.com/environmentalinformatics-marburg/gimms.
Best,
Florian
