Plot Mississippi Sound Salinity Data

Source: R/plot_mssnd_salinity.R
plot_mssnd_salinity.Rd

Creates a plotly visualization of salinity data from USGS monitoring stations in the Mississippi portion of the Mississippi Sound. The plot is stacked by default, with instantaneous values in the top graph and daily means on the bottom. A range slider is on the bottom to allow viewing of a smaller portion of time.

Usage

plot_mssnd_salinity(data, nrow = 2, colors = NULL)

Arguments

data

A list with three required elements: data (instantaneous measurements), daily (daily averages), and siteInfo (station metadata). This is typically the output from the get_mssnd_data() function.

nrow

Integer. Number of rows in the subplot layout. Default is 2 (instantaneous data on top, daily means on bottom). Change to 1 if you prefer the graphs side-by-side.

colors

Character vector of color codes to use for different stations. Can be a named vector. If NULL (default), the khroma package's "roma" scheme will be used.

Value

A plotly object with interactive time series plots of salinity data. The top plot shows instantaneous measurements, and the bottom plot shows daily means. Both plots share x and y axes. A date range slider is included for easier navigation of the time series.
