Climate Action Training Workshop Tools & Datasets

Data variables

• lat - latitude
• lon - longitude

Spatial conventions

• latitude: 31 to 42
• longitude: -124 to -104
• R bounding box object list(minLat=31, maxLat=42, minLon=-124, maxLon=-104)
• see ClimateAction R package for function to perform subsetting to region of interest.
• coordinate system: +proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs

R conventions

File names end in `*.R'.

Running the Shiny apps

Installing the ClimateAction R package and running the prepare_shiny_data.R should be enough to run the apps. The code below assumes that the working directory is the root folder of this repo.

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("strongh/ClimateActionR", subdir="ClimateAction")
## this script may take a minute to generate the data
devtools::source_url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/strongh/ClimateActionR/master/shiny/prepare_shiny_data.R")
shiny::runGitHub( "ClimateActionR", "strongh", subdir="shiny/1-MexicoFlow")
