summary plot for water and temperature?

[jmzobitz]

@naupaka: would this type of image be useful for the manuscript?

This is measured soil temperature and water from the field data you collected. I am thinking of ways to present summary data succinctly. I could also do a bar chart as well (sparklines weren't as effective).

If we decide to move ahead, I think two additional columns including the median and 95% CI of the measurements woul also provide context. We could also pair this with a traditional table of site information too (which I started in the MS - see lines 31 or search for tbl-neon_sites

I think something like this would be excellent to include -- it shows clearly that SJER and SRER are super dry and hot compared to the others. Are the sparklines/figures like a pdf of the measurements?

[jmzobitz]

Yes - it is a pdf of the measurements. Can do a bar chart, but that might be too fine grained to distinguish. LINK https://gt.albert-rapp.de/fancy_stuff LINK https://jthomasmock.github.io/gtExtras/articles/plotting-with-gtExtras.html

I'll forge ahead with it.

I think the pdf probably looks nicer than a histogram, but is there any way to add a quantitative x axis to the plot? Otherwise the qualitative differences are apparent, but hard to place in a broader frame of reference.

[jmzobitz]

Yeah, I had thought about that. Can check up on how to make that work, or at least having some sort of gridlines with annotation in the caption.

Let's close this issue --> I added the mean values of temperature and soil water - it would be cool, but having consistent grid lines would make this a larger table / image than I think we have the space / capacity for.
