This repository includes the code used to create the pelagic ocean and climate indicators. Each indicator has its own Quarto (.qmd) file which includes the following:

• Information on accessing the data used for the indicator
• Information on any data wrangling done outside the Quarto file
• Code used to wrangle data and calculate indicator properties
• Code used to generate indicator figures. Note, though, that most figures are polished in Adobe Illustrator prior to insertion in the final report.
• Text that will be copied and pasted into the SAFE report document
  • To the extent possible, this text is formatted to match the SAFE report document. It's not pretty here, but it simplifies things down the line.
  • Mathematical values related to the indicator (e.g., annual maximum) are coded into the text to reduce the risk for failing to update a value.

There's also a References.qmd file that includes updated references used across all indicators. SAFE-Reference-Doc.docx serves as the style template for Quarto.

Note that an additional script is needed for for the Oceanic pH, Sea Surface Temperature, Temperature at Depth, Ocean Color, and Median Phytoplankton Size indicators. The scripts can be found in the eponymous folders.
