Telemetry Workflows

This repository is where I store example work-flows to do different data cleaning operations (e.g., adding metadata, removing false detections, creating preliminary abacus plots) for acoustic telemetry data. The first step in these workflows are meant to be used with telemetry data that doesn’t go through Ocean Tracking Network (OTN) or affiliates (e.g., Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observation System (GLATOS)), QAQC protocols. After step one, the scripts can be used with OTN or affiliates (e.g., GLATOS), QAQC data. If one wants to use any of the scripts regardless of the where they are at with their telemetry data, in the R folder, select the company your transmitters and receivers are and choose what step you are wanting help with.

NOTE: Currently Lotek files are under development and are limited in functionality.

Installation

To get this repo and the example workflows you can download it in R using the following code and prompts:

install.packages("usethis")
usethis::use_course("https://github.com/benjaminhlina/telemetry-workflows/archive/refs/heads/master.zip")

Once installed click on the folder R to find the selected scripts.

Questions and Contriubtions

If you have question about how to do something you want with telemetry data but are unsure and you would like help. Please submit an issue as a reprex marked with an enhancement tag to help me, help you. I will not attempt to answer questions that do not use a reprex, as it makes it difficult to troubleshoot what you’re needing help with. If you have code you’d like to contribute to this, please fork this repository and create a pull request. Thanks!
