20206-03-03 Updates for
oisst_7dayandoisst_month- indices
ao,mei,npgo,oni, andpdo; See ?mei and ?oni for why some historical values of mei and noi have changed. In particular for ONI we are now in a new five-year baseline period for recent anomalies so all ONI values since 2010 have been recalculated. - buoy temperature data (2,284 new daily temperature calculations)
- zooplankton anomalies (retaining previous values, see ?zooplankton_sog).

2025-10-15 Updates for:

- Fraser River discharge (note that values for June 2025 have changed from the original ones in pacea, as values changed on the wateroffice.ec.gc.ca website), also fixed curious concatenating factor problem
- README file updated with uses of pacea and link to marea
