Mauna Loa Data #1

Closed ceroddy6 closed 7 years ago

ceroddy6 commented 7 years ago

I have loaded all of the time series data from the previous lectures, but I can't seem to figure out which one is data_output/mauna_loa_met_2001_minute.rda to complete the time series data challenge. Was I supposed to create that and if so, can you direct me to the right file that explains what I am supposed to do to create it. All I have is a folder with a bunch of text files. Thanks!

Hi all, I think there's two parts here that you'll want to check out. If you are interested in figuring out how we merged the 12 different mauna_loa_met files (1 per month) into one big file (which we saved as both an .rda and an .rds), you'll want to see the code that is in the wRangling_Seminar/documents/ice_C02_web_data.Rmd file. Particularly, the section that says "Read in Multiple Files" which gives code for reading all those files in and merging (using unnest or rbind functions).

In order for that code to run, you need to have all 12 mauna_loa.txt files (unzipped) and in the right location.

If you want to skip over this part, you would start by saving the rda or rds files (go to wRangling_Seminar/data_output/mauna_loa_met_2001_minute.rda and click on the download button), and use those in the R-timeseries code.

Hope this helps 👍 .
