write_adms: Export a meteorological data frame in ADMS format

Description

Writes a text file in the ADMS format to a location of the user's choosing, with optional interpolation of missing values. This function works with data from both import_ghcn_hourly() and import_isd_hourly().

Usage

write_adms(x, file = "./ADMS_met.MET", interp = FALSE, max_gap = 2)

Value

write_adms() returns the input dat invisibly.

Arguments

x

A data frame imported by import_ghcn_hourly() or import_isd_hourly(). Note that this function only works for hourly GHCN data when abbr_names = TRUE.

file

A file name for the ADMS file. The file is written to the working directory by default.

interp

Should interpolation of missing values be undertaken? If TRUE linear interpolation is carried out for gaps of up to and including max_gap.

max_gap

The maximum gap in hours that should be interpolated where there are missing data when interp = TRUE. Data with gaps more than max_gap are left as missing.
