Details
This function creates several graphics showing seasonal and annual trends for a given swmp parameter. Plots include monthly distributions, monthly anomalies, and annual anomalies in multiple formats. Anomalies are defined as the difference between the monthly or annual average from the grand mean. Monthly anomalies are in relation to the grand mean for the same month across all years. All data are aggregated for quicker plotting. Nutrient data are based on monthly averages, wheras weather and water quality data are based on daily averages. Cumulative precipitation data are based on the daily maximum. An interactive Shiny widget is available: https://beckmw.shinyapps.io/swmp_summary/
