An R package has been created to help R users to access and visualise eReefs marine model outputs directly from NCI servers. The package contains a few useful functions to make accessing eReefs and other CSIRO-EMS output files easier, and is available through https://github.com/open-AIMS/ereefs, with documentation available at https://open-aims.github.io/ereefs/

Use Cases

  • Extracting time-series of simulated water quality at your monitoring stations, to use together with observational data.
  • Visualising a recent event in your area as an animated map.
  • Extracting simulated data along a specified transect, such as a ship track.
  • Extracting a vertical profile at a specified location and time.
  • Extracting a vertical slice at a specified location and time.

Installation instructions

Copy and paste the following lines into R:

if (!requireNamespace("remotes")) {
  install.packages("remotes")
}
remotes::install_github("open-aims/ereefs")
