# openair (development)

# openair (2.17-0)

## New Features

- add option `meteo` to `importAURN()` family of functions. By default modelled wind speed, direction and ambient temperature are returned if available, but not if `meteo = FALSE`.

- added a new column to `modStats()`, "P", which represents the P-value of the correlation as reported by `cor.test()`.

- update processing of ADMS meteorological (.MOP) files to return stability and tidier data.

- refined the output of `pollutionRose()` where the `ws2` and `wd2` options are provided; instead of the misleading N/E/S/W, the markers become 0, +90, +/-180, -90.

- the `timeAverage()` progress bar is now powered by `{cli}`/`{purrr}` and can be silenced using the new `progress` argument.

- the `polarCluster()` progress bar is now also powered by `{cli}`/`{purrr}`.

- colours corresponding to the UK daily air quality index (<https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/air-pollution/daqi>) have been added as options to `openColours()`.

- the `{openair}` object's `data` property returned by the `trajLevel()` function is now consistently formatted regardless of `statistic` choice, and contains relevant statistic-specific information (e.g., `sigma` for `"SQTBA"`).

## Bug Fixes

- fixed issue with `modStats()` such that "method" can now be changed (e.g., to "spearman").

- fixed issue with `aqStats()` where output wasn't being properly split by pollutant/type.

- fixed issue with `conditionalQuantile()` where the plot would fail to be produced when "type" was not specified.

- fixed issue with `cutData()` where "season" wouldn't respect system locale (e.g., would still show "(DJF)" on Italian systems, instead of the correct "(gla)"). Note that the season name itself (e.g., "Winter") cannot be automatically converted.

- fixed the `theilSen()` `silent` argument. The message "taking bootstrap samples. please wait" is also now sent via `message()` rather than `print()` and only appears once per function call.

- fixed issue where `trajCluster()` proportions would overlap when clustering forward trajectories. Proportions should now appear at the end of cluster paths, regardless of whether the trajectory is back or forward.

- fixed issue where not all `{openair}` plotting functions would properly return an openair S3 object, and that not all `data` objects were tibbles.

- Fixed issue with `timeAverage` where date formatting caused problems, possibly due to latest version of R (4.3.0).

# openair 2.15

- do not use native pipe yet - does not work with old versions of R

- fix issue with `polarDiff()` where the resulting `openair` object did not contain the `plot` element.

# openair 2.14

- add `year` as an option to `importMeta`. This allows the user to select sites that were only open at some point in the chosen year or duration of years.

- make sure full daily gravimetric data are returned for PM10 and PM2.5 if available when using `importAURN` family of functions. These data will be returned as `gr_pm2.5` and `gr_pm10` if `data_type = "daily"`

- add `alpha` argument to all polar directional analysis functions. This is mainly for use in `openairmaps` but may be of general interest for specific use cases.

- fix small bug in `smoothTrend` in returned fit data when data is missing.

# openair 2.13

- add `importLocal` to access locally-managed automatic monitoring data 
- fix bug in `pollutionRose` when single number of breaks given (was ignored)
- remove legacy functions `import`, `import.2`, `importAURNcsv` and `kernelExceed`

# openair 2.11

# openair 2.10

- fix warning message in `calendarPlot`
- don't pad missing dates in `timeAverage` if DST
- deprecate `resolution` in `polarPlot` --- now uses predictions at a coarser resolution that are interpolated. Will also speed-up plotting
- add new source method to trajectory analysis (`trajlevel`), SQTBA --- Simplified Quantitative Transport Bias Analysis
- fix bivariate Gaussian function in `polarPlot` when two pollutants supplied for different statistics 
- add initial version of 'York regression' approach as an option to `polarPlot`. This regression approach determines a best fit line when there is error in the 'x' and the 'y'. The openair book will be updated to cover this in more detail.

# openair 2.9-1

- Do not return hydrocarbon measurements by default for annual and monthly summaries in `importAURN`.

New option `data_type`, which can be "hourly" (default), "annual", "monthly", "daily" and "15min" (for SO~2~). These new data sources should make it much easier to work with long-term time series with many sites. See [the openair manual](https://bookdown.org/david_carslaw/openair/sections/data-access/UK-air-quality-data.html) for more details.

- fix bug in `timeAverage` when interval more than one time unit e.g. "10 day"

## openair 2.5-0

- New built-in colour palette for the colour blind "cbPalette". Note maximum number of colours is 8 e.g. `windRose(mydata, col = "cbPalette", breaks = 6)`. Thanks to Jerry Martin.

## openair 2.3-0

- add option `plot` to `TheilSen`. `FALSE` can be useful when analysing data to extract the trend components and plot in other ways and when the `TheilSen` plot is not required.

- remove all Airbase functions, will be available via new package that also incorporates newer e-reporting data
- fix bug in `timeAverage` when `statistic = "sum"` and all data in period was missing (would return 0 rather than `NA`)
- make sure that same data used in all `conditionalEval` plots by using data where there are no missing data for all variables used. This is more important of `var.obs ` and `var.mod` are supplied and hence additional variables are considered relative to only `obs` and `mod`.
- fix date issues in `calendarPlot` to do with time zones
- remove missing data when type is a numeric value split up into quantiles

# openair 2.0-0

## Main changes

- silence download progress by default in `importAURN`
- update `polarPlot` to work with pairwise statistics to compare two pollutants. The function can consider Pearson correlation and slopes from ordinary linear regression, robust regression (using **MASS** function `rlm`) and quantile regression (requires the **quantreg** package to be installed). See [open access version](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1352231016307166) of the paper.
- change default `polarPlot` plot resolution to "fine".
- fix `windRose` problem with some data due to missing data
- move `mapdata` package to Suggests
- add option to return meta data (site type, lat, lon) from `importAURN` and `importKCL`.
- fix statistic = "weighted.mean" issue in `polarPlot`.

- add `key.position` option to `timePlot` to control the location of the key.
- fix labels in `timeVariation` when data for some types is missing.
- fix `trendLevel` issue due to `dplyr`
- use `lubridate` package in `timeAverage`

  multiple sites where there is a column representing site name
  e.g. `type = "site"`.
