jNSMR 0.3.0

• Newhall model gains support for additional spatially explicit inputs:

  • O horizon (presence/absence)
  • Saturation (presence/absence)
  • soilAirOffset (degrees C or degrees F)

• Cryic Soil Temperature Regime criteria now properly incorporate O horizon and saturation into thresholds

jNSMR 0.2.0

• Added helper functions for raster input data preparation. Initial sources include:

  • PRISM monthly climate "normals," DAYMET monthly aggregated climate, SoilWeb ISSR800 (Available Water Storage Capacity)

• Added sample data (PRISM+ISSR800, DAYMET+ISSR800 in GeoTIFF format) to inst/extdata

• Added core_thresh argument to newhall_batch() and better heuristics for nrows with and without multiple cores

• Recompiled JAR v1.6.4

• Abstracted out longitude/latitude grid calculation, use "OGC:CRS84" for consistent determinations globally

• Add newhall_prism_subset() and "extdata/prism_issr800_sample.tif" newhall_daymet_subset() and "extdata/daymet_issr800_sample.tif"

  • GeoTIFF files use "INT2S" (signed, two byte integer) datatype with "LZW" compression and "PREDICTOR=2" for small file size

• Set minimum R version to 4.0.0 (for tools::R_user_dir())

jNSMR 0.1.1

• Several fixes related to "Undefined" factor levels for moisture regime and moisture regime subdivisions in the newhall_batch(<SpatRaster>) method (#8)

• Fixed layer names for the categorical results in the newhall_batch(<SpatRaster>) method

• Set minimum R version to 3.6.0 (based on {rJava})

jNSMR 0.1.0

• Added vignettes for using "legacy" model v1.6.1 JAR and for PRISM data; general improvements to documentation

• Use terra::set.cats() for setting factor levels (prior approach using vector input and levels<- was deprecated)

jNSMR 0.0.0.9010

• New JAR file v1.6.4: adds a new result annualPotentialEvapotranspiration (sum of mean monthly PET) to NewhallBatchResults class

jNSMR 0.0.0.9009

• Fixed multicore support in newhall_batch(<SpatRaster>)

• Optimization of newhall_batch(<SpatRaster>) method to skip NA rows and use less memory/fewer inputs

jNSMR 0.0.0.9008

• New JAR file v1.6.3: optimizes interface for batching in Java using simpler data structures better suited to high throughput

jNSMR 0.0.0.9007

• Add SpatRaster and RasterBrick newhall_batch() methods for raster input

• Updated PRISM demo (using SpatRaster interface)

jNSMR 0.0.0.9006

• Added PRISM demo (using data.frame interface) for newhall_batch()

jNSMR 0.0.0.9005

• Deprecated the JDOM API (JAR v1.6.1 provides legacy support for XML file formats etc.)

• New JAR file v1.6.2: supports command-line inputs for running models

jNSMR 0.0.0.9004

• Major improvements to handling of metadata and minimum datasets

• Better error messages and checking of types

• Proper fix for hemisphere based on lat/lng (note that E/W does not enter into calculation but does affect string/XML output)

• Access to JAR NSM_VERSION and support for custom Newhall JAR file .onLoad

jNSMR 0.0.0.9003

• Optimization of newhall_batch() (converting everything to rJava::.jcall())

jNSMR 0.0.0.9002

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.

jNSMR 0.0.0.9001

• jNSM source code and initial R package structure (d992732)
