Usage

lcd(station, year, ...)

Arguments

station

(character) station code, e.g., "02413099999". we will allow integer/numeric passed here, but station ids can have leading zeros, so it's a good idea to keep stations as character class

year

(integer) year, e.g., 2017

...

curl options passed on to HttpClient

Value

a data.frame, with many columns, and variable rows depending on how frequently data was collected in the given year

a data.frame with many columns. the first 10 are metadata:

• station

• date

• source

• latitude

And the rest should be all data columns. See Note about data joined together.
