-
Update the internal
history_tblobject -
Eliminate testthat tests that get data from the NOAA server to consistently pass CRAN checks
-
Complete rewrite of package.
-
Package now has the main function
get_met_data(), whereget_station_metadata()andstation_coverage()provide information on the station and which additional data fields they have reported on. -
The
get_met_data()function can bucketize observations so that even hourly observations are provided. -
Instead of needing to provide a range of years, any vector of
yearscan be provided toget_met_data(). -
The
visibilityparameter is now provided in the standard set of station observations. -
A more reliable method of getting the local times for each station has been implemented.
-
Meteorological data files can be collected in a directory after download for later reuse.
-
Additional data fields, when requested, are processed much more quickly than in previous releases.
-
Tibbles are now returned instead of data frames.
-
A pkgdown site has been generated.
-
Removes the
get_tz_offset()function, the large shapefile object, and the dependencies on the lubridate, sp, and proj4 packages. -
Greater use of dplyr functions to greatly increase processing speed.
-
Functions are resilient to missing years of data within year ranges provided.
-
Added function
get_ncdc_station_info()to obtain data frame of all known met stations, and, to filter list of stations by geographic bounding box and/or by years of available data. -
Added function
select_ncdc_station()to take the data frame produced byget_ncdc_station_info()and aid in obtaining a selection of a single station; the resulting identifier string can be passed toget_ncdc_station_data()to fetch data for the selected station.
- Contains function
get_ncdc_station_data()(to fetch data and create a data frame) and helper functionget_tz_offset()(to determine time zone offset and correct times to local time).
