New in 2025

• Add monitor_dailyMean() from iwfaqrp_small_projects repo (3/23/26)

New in 2025

• Error in monitor_leaflet(., slice = 690) : improper use of slice parameter (5/29/25)
• monitor_aqcTable() fails if any monitor is missing locationName (7/18/25)
• allow aqiCategories() and aqiColors() to accept a matrix as input, e.g. a "dataBrick", and return a matrix as output (10/31/25)
• update NowCast article to reflect missing value logic that now matches AirNow. (10/31/25)

New in 2024

• all monitor_() functions that return monitor objects should test with monitor_isEmpty() as the first step and, if empty, return the unmodified monitor. This will prevent errors from occurring in the middle of a recipe. (2/29/24)
• Rebuild example datasets from V2 archives built with fullAQSID
• Update vignettes/AirMonitor.Rmd
• Update and move back articles from local_articles/
• monitor_load() only has data up to the end of loadDaily() as opposed to the end of loadLatest(). (8/23/23)
• monitor validation currently requires fullAQSID which is not available for WRCC data. (9/06/23)
• monitor_getCurrentStatus() should use monitor_filterDatetime() with ceilingEnd = TRUE once MazamaTimeSeries has been updated with the associated fix. (6/30/23)
• Update PM2.5 NAAQS to match air-monitor-plots.js. (8/5/24)
• Levi Stanton Slack comment about NAAQS in .assignBreakpointsTable(). (8/07/2024)

version 0.5.x

• In monitor_aqi() figure out whether NowCast should be applied to non-PM2.5 data. (12/03/2024)

• Revisit NowCast calculation (8/10/23)

I was reading through your NowCast code and saw that you don't calculate NowCast if the current hour is missing. I know you note that it conflicts with the algorithm on the airnowtech blog, but you also cite a wikipedia article that says that's how it's done for AirNow. Problem is, that's not how it's done for AirNow.
