Provides functions to retrieve, process, analyze, and quality-control marine physical, chemical, and biological data. The main focus is on Swedish monitoring data available through the 'SHARK' database https://shark.smhi.se/en/, with additional API support for 'Nordic Microalgae' https://nordicmicroalgae.org/, 'Dyntaxa' https://artfakta.se/, World Register of Marine Species ('WoRMS') https://www.marinespecies.org, 'AlgaeBase' https://www.algaebase.org, OBIS 'xylookup' web service https://iobis.github.io/xylookup/ and Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) - UNESCO databases on harmful algae https://www.marinespecies.org/hab/ and toxins https://toxins.hais.ioc-unesco.org/.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-shark4r

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-SHARK4R

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-SHARK4R

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
