Overview

About

Maintained by Amanda RehbeinFirst published 2020-11-142 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Rossby wave ray paths are traced from a determined source, specified wavenumber, and direction of propagation. "raytracing" also works with a set of experiments changing these parameters, making possible the identification of Rossby wave sources automatically. The theory used here is based on classical studies, such as Hoskins and Karoly (1981) doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1981)038%3C1179:TSLROA%3E2.0.CO;2, Karoly (1983) doi:10.1016/0377-0265(83)90013-1, Hoskins and Ambrizzi (1993) doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1993)050%3C1661:RWPOAR%3E2.0.CO;2, and Yang and Hoskins (1996) doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1996)053%3C2365:PORWON%3E2.0.CO;2.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("raytracing", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("salvatirehbein/raytracing")

Development version from salvatirehbein/raytracing. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-raytracing

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-raytracing

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-raytracing

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