Overview of EGRET: The following are 4 major features of EGRET.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. It is designed to obtain its water quality sample data, streamflow data, and metadata directly from the USGS NWIS (National Water Information System), but it allows for user-supplied text files as inputs. The program is designed to ingest the data directly into R and structure them into file structures suited to the analysis. For those familiar with WRTDS_4c, the text file inputs used in that system will also work in EGRET.

2. It has all of the existing WRTDS functionality - computing concentrations, fluxes, flow normalized versions of those, trends in those and graphics to show results and to explore the behavior of the data (by season, by flow class...). Many graph and table outputs are possible and all are clearly labeled and suitable for presentation or publication. It is designed for both batch and interactive processing. It is very much oriented to graphics and should be thought of as an exploratory tool. It is intended for use with data sets of about 200 or more samples, over a time period of about 20 or more years. Some testing with smaller data sets has been done, and no significant problems have been identified in cases with sample sizes slightly larger than 100 but extensive testing with smaller data sets has not taken place yet.
