rnoaa package is scheduled to be archived. Already STOPPED WORKING in that it's no longer pulling new data. Critical for some parts of State-of-Bay report.

Potential replacements: GSODR - http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/web/packages/GSODR/index.html (pull data from individual stations, like rnoaa) meteoland - http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/web/packages/meteoland/index.html (estimate weather at any position of a landscape) RNCEP - and others

Need to replace function getNOAA in annualPlotFct.R with an alternative. Based on Iowa State ASOS network using package 'riem' looks promising.

Better solution: use wget to pull buoy data from NOAA website (has at least some historic data). Buoy dataset is more relevant than airport data available from Iowa State.
