worldmet

open source tools to access NOAA Integrated Surface Database (ISD) meteorological observations

worldmet provides an easy way to access data from the NOAA Integrated Surface Database (ISD). The ISD contains detailed surface meteorological data from around the world for over 35,000 locations. See also the map. The package outputs (typically hourly meteorological data) work very well with the openair package.
