climate

The goal of the climate R package is to automatize downloading of in-situ meteorological and hydrological data from publicly available repositories:

  • OGIMET (ogimet.com) - up-to-date collection of SYNOP dataset

  • University of Wyoming - atmospheric vertical profiling data (http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/)

  • National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration - Earth System Research Laboratories - Global Monitoring Laboratory (NOAA)

  • Polish Institute of Meteorology and Water Management - National Research Institute (IMGW-PIB)

  • National Centers for Environmental Information, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration - National Climatic Data Center - Integrated Surface Hourly (ISH) (NOAA)

Installation

The stable release of the climate package from the CRAN repository can be installed with:

install.packages("climate")

It is also possible to install the most up-to-date development version of climate from GitHub with:

library(remotes)
install_github("bczernecki/climate")
