dataaimsr: An R Client for the Australian Institute of Marine Science Data Platform API which provides easy access to AIMS Data Platform

Abstract

dataaimsr is an R package written to provide open access to decades of field measurements of atmospheric and oceanographic parameters around the coast of Australia, conducted by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). The package communicates with the recently developed AIMS Data Platform API via an API key. Here we describe the available datasets as well as example usage cases.
