Oyster Flows statistical model for salinity prediction- model code and manual

This was a model written in the R statistical language for developing predictions of salinity under future climate conditions. Salinity is predicted as a function of water level, air temperature, wind speed, freshwater inflow to estuary, and watershed precipitation. The model was developed to use baseline, current environmental conditions for training the statistical relationships (H4.x955.000:0001, https://www.doi.org/10.7266/48cfe02r) and for predicting future ranges (H4.x955.000:0002, https://www.doi.org/10.7266/gk811kb9). Output was summarized in a series of graphics generated by the script. The script and input data are currently configured to run for salinity observation sites in nine basins (Wolf, Jourdan, Biloxi, Bogue Chitto, Sabine, Pascagoula, Pearl, Calcasieu, and Tchoutacabouffa) in Mississippi and east Texas/west Louisiana (model output H4.x955.000:0003, https://doi.org/10.7266/hdyw1arv).
