[brownag]

jNSMR 0.2.0

• Added helper functions for raster input data preparation. Initial sources include:

  • PRISM monthly climate "normals" (1991-2020), DAYMET monthly aggregated climate, SoilWeb ISSR800 (Available Water Storage Capacity)

• Added sample data (PRISM+ISSR800, DAYMET+ISSR800 in GeoTIFF format) to inst/extdata

  • "extdata/prism_issr800_sample.tif"and "extdata/daymet_issr800_sample.tif"
  • GeoTIFF files use "INT2S" (signed, two byte integer) datatype with "LZW" compression and "PREDICTOR=2" for small file size

• Added core_thresh argument to newhall_batch() and better heuristics for nrows with and without multiple cores

  • Recompiled JAR v1.6.4

  • Abstracted out longitude/latitude grid calculation, use "OGC:CRS84" for consistent determinations globally

• Added newhall_nad83_template()

  • Function produces PRISM resolution "800m" (default) and 4km empty SpatRaster grid templates

• Added newhall_prism_subset() and newhall_daymet_subset() helper methods for creating chunks of PRISM or DAYMET climate data, respectively

• Set minimum R version to 4.0.0 (for tools::R_user_dir())

Merging. There may be some further revision to the "data" methods after these get trialed in the wild.
