The goal of oisst is to easily download Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) data hosted by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Currently uses OISST v2.1

Installation

remotes::install_github("NOAA-EDAB/oisst")

Usage

To determine which years have data:

oisst::find_years()
#>  [1] "1981" "1982" "1983" "1984" "1985" "1986" "1987" "1988" "1989" "1990"
#> [11] "1991" "1992" "1993" "1994" "1995" "1996" "1997" "1998" "1999" "2000"
#> [21] "2001" "2002" "2003" "2004" "2005" "2006" "2007" "2008" "2009" "2010"
#> [31] "2011" "2012" "2013" "2014" "2015" "2016" "2017" "2018" "2019" "2020"
#> [41] "2021" "2022"

To download a single years data (year 2001 in example) into a folder called “output” within your current directory

oisst::get_oisst_data(years=2001,outputStructure=NULL,outputDir=here::here("output"))

To download years 2000, …, 2010 into yearly folders within the “output” folder in current working directory:

oisst::get_oisst_data(years=2000:2010,outputStructure="year",outputDir=here::here("output"))

To download years 2000, …, 2005 into a single folder within the “output” folder in current working directory:

oisst::get_oisst_data(years=2000:2005,outputStructure=NULL,outputDir=here::here("output"))

To download all data into monthly folders within the “output” folder in current working directory:

ooist::get_oisst_data(years=NULL,outputStructure="month",outputDir=here::here("output"))
