Bristol Bay Sockeye Abundance and Forecasts

Description

Bristol Bay sockeye abundance for 9 rivers for 4 age-groups. The data are from Ovando et al 2021 Improving forecasts of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) with parametric and nonparametric models DOI: 10.1139/cjfas-2021-0287. You’ll find a copy in the lab folder. The data file also has the covariates for year that the smolts enter the ocean as used in Ovando et al. The dataset includes climate covariates.

Usage

data(bristol_bay_sockeye)

Format

Objects of class "data.frame".

Details

The data have the columns:

  • ret_yr The year the spawners return to the spawning grounds

  • ret The returns (number of fish in 1000s)

  • system The river name

  • age_group The age_group

  • forecast.adfw The forecast from AK Fish and Wildlife

  • forecast.fri The forecast from UW Fisheries Research Institute

  • env_* are some covariates at the year the age group entered the ocean

In the data file, the age group designation is “a.b” where “a” is number of years in freshwater and “b” is number of years in the ocean. The age of the spawners in then a+b.

Monthly and annual Chinook salmon commercial landings

Description

Monthly (WA, OR and CA) and yearly (AK, CA, MI, OR, PA, and WA) data on commercial landings and value of Chinook salmon. Yearly data were downloaded from the NOAA Fisheries, Fisheries Statistics Division and the monthly data were downloaded from PacFIN.

Usage

data(chinook)

Format

Objects of class "data.frame". Columns are Year, Month (if monthly), Species, State, log.metric.tons, metric.tons, and value.usd (USD)

Details

There are two datasets included: chinook.month and chinook.year. The monthly data are available from 1990 and the annual data are available from 1950. The raw data and R script to process the data are in the inst/original_data folder.

From the NOAA Fisheries Statistics Divison: "Collecting these data is a joint state and federal responsibility. State-federal systems gather landings data from state-mandated fishery trip-tickets, landing weighout reports from seafood dealers, federal logbooks of fishery catch and effort, and shipboard and portside interviews and biological sampling of catches. State fishery agencies are usually the main collectors of these data, though they and NOAA Fisheries gather data jointly in some states. Surveys are done differently in different states; NOAA Fisheries takes supplemental surveys to ensure that the data from different states and years are comparable."

In addition from NOAA Fisheries Statistics Division: "Statistics for each state represent a census of the volume and value of finfish and shellfish landed and sold at the dock, not an expanded estimate of landings based on sampling data. The main statistics collected are the pounds and ex-vessel dollar value of landings identified by species, year, month, state, county, port, water, and fishing gear. Most states get their landings data from seafood dealers who submit monthly reports of the weight and value of landings by vessel. Increasingly, though, states are getting landings data from mandatory trip-tickets—filled out by seafood dealers and fishermen at the end of every fishing trip, indicating their landings by species."

UK Atmospheric NO2

Description

UK Environmental Change Network (ECN) atmospheric nitrogen chemistry data: 1993-2015

Usage

data(ECNNO2)

ECNNO2

ECNmeta

Format

ECNNO2 is the data and is an object of class "data.frame". Columns are Year, Month, TubeID, SiteCode, and Value. ECNmeta is the site locations.

An object of class data.frame with 9108 rows and 7 columns.

An object of class data.frame with 12 rows and 4 columns.

Details

From https://catalogue.ceh.ac.uk/documents/baf51776-c2d0-4e57-9cd3-30cd6336d9cf: "Atmospheric Nitrogen Dioxide data from the UK Environmental Change Network (ECN) terrestrial sites. These data are collected by diffusion tubes at all of ECN's terrestrial sites using a standard protocol. They represent continuous fortnightly records from 1993 to 2015." The data in ECNNO2 are the NO2 (micrograms/m3). Note although the dataset information do not state this, I believe that the data are averaged iver the time exposure (minutes), i.e. are micrograms/m3-minute, because the exposure time does not affect the N02 values in the dataset, i.e. longer exposure does not equal higher NO2 values. The link above has all the background information on the dataset. The original data are taken every 7-31 days, with 14 days apart being the target and most common time difference. ECNNO2 is the monthly average of of all the readings for the experimental tubes. The average for the E1 tube will be average of the 1-3 E1 tubes from that month. Same for E2, E3 etc.

These data are part of a long-term monitoring program in the UK. N02 is just one component that is monitored. The sites locations are in ECNmeta.

Lake Washington Plankton Data

Description

Monthly Lake Washington (WA, USA) plankton, temperature, total phosphorous, and pH data 1962 to 1994.

Usage

data(lakeWA)

Format

Object of class "data.frame". #'

Details

The lakeWA is a 32-year time series (1962-1994) of monthly plankton counts from Lake Washington, Washington, USA. lakeWA is a transformed version of the raw data (available in the MARSS package data(lakeWAplanktonRaw, package="MARSS")). Zeros have been replaced with NAs (missing). The plankton counts are logged (natural log) and standardized to a mean of zero and variance of 1 (so logged and then z-scored). Temperature, TP & pH were also z-scored but not logged (so z-score of the untransformed values for these covariates). The single missing temperature value was replaced with -1 and the single missing TP value was replaced with -0.3. The two missing pH values were interpolated. Monthly anomalies for temperature, TP and pH were computed by removing the monthly means (computed over the 1962-1994 period). The anomalies were then z-scored to remove mean and standardize variance to 1.

Mauna Loa C02 measurements

Description

Monthly Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) at Stations in Washington State

Usage

data(MLCO2)

Format

Objects of class "data.frame". Columns are year, month, ppm (part per million)

Details

These are monthly average C02 values recorded on Mauna Loa in Hawaii since 1958. Data are provided by NOAA Earth System Rearch Laboratory, Global Monitoring Division.

Data from March 1958 through April 1974 have been obtained by C. David Keeling of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and were obtained from the Scripps website (scrippsco2.ucsd.edu). The ppm column contains the monthly mean CO2 mole fraction determined from daily averages. The mole fraction of CO2, expressed as parts per million (ppm) is the number of molecules of CO2 in every one million molecules of dried air (water vapor removed). If there are missing days, the value is the interpolated value. See www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/ for additional details.

The data for the aquatics challenge comes from a NEON site at Lake Barco (Florida). More about the data and challenge is here and the Github repository for getting all the necessary data is eco4cast.

The neon_barc data set was created with the aquatics-targets.csv.gz file produced in the neon4cast-aquatics GitHub repository and saved in the inst folder in the atsalibrary package. From that file, neon_barc is created with

library(tidyverse)
library(lubridate)
# This taken from code on NEON aquatics challenge
targets <- readr::read_csv("aquatics-targets.csv.gz", guess_max = 10000)
site_data_var <- targets %>%
  filter(siteID == "BARC")
# This is key here - I added the forecast horizon on the end of the data for the forecast period
full_time <- tibble(time = seq(min(site_data_var$time), max(site_data_var$time), by = "1 day"))
# Join the full time with the site_data_var so there aren't gaps in the time column
site_data_var <- left_join(full_time, site_data_var) %>%
  dplyr::rename(date = time)
site_data_var$year <- year(site_data_var$date)

These data are the snow water equivalent percent of normal. This represents the snow water equivalent (SWE) compared to the average value for that site on the same day. The data were downloaded from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service website for the Washington Snow Survey Program. The snotel object is the SWE data and the snotelmeta is the station metadata (lat/lon and elevation).

  • brood_year Brood year.

  • region River.

  • spawners Spawners (count) in thousands

  • recruits Recruits (count) in thousands

  • pdo_summer_t2 Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) from Apr-Sep of brood year $t+2$

  • pdo_winter_ts Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) from Oct (brood year $t+2$) to Mar (brood year $t+3$)

Details

Spawner-recruit data for sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) from the Bristol Bay region in SW Alaska that span the years 1952-2005. The data come from a large public database begun by Ransom Myers many years ago. The database is now maintained as the RAM Legacy Stock Assessment Database.

The R script which created the data can be found in the atsalibrary GitHub site in the inst/orginal_data/sockeye folder.

For convenience in the lab book, KvichakSockeye is also created which is just the Kvichak data.
