In GSODR: Global Surface Summary of the Day ('GSOD') Weather Data Client
{GSODR}: Global Surface Summary of the Day (GSOD) Weather Data Client 
Introduction
The GSOD or Global Surface Summary of the Day
(GSOD)
data provided by the US National Centers for Environmental Information
(NCEI) are a valuable source of weather data with global coverage.
{GSODR} aims to make it easy to find, transfer and format the data you
need for use in analysis and provides six main functions for
facilitating this:
-
get_GSOD() - this function queries and transfers files from the
NCEI’s web server, reformats them and returns a data frame.
-
reformat_GSOD() - this function takes individual station files from
the local disk and re-formats them returning a data frame.
-
nearest_stations() - this function returns a data.table of
stations with their metadata and the distance in which they fall from
the given radius (kilometres) of a point given as latitude and
longitude in order from nearest to farthest.
-
get_inventory() - this function downloads the latest station
inventory information from the NCEI’s server and returns the header
information about the latest version as a message in the console and a
tidy data frame of the stations’ inventory for each month that data
are reported.
-
get_history() - this function downloads the latest version of the
isd-history.csv file from the NCEI’s server and returns a {data.table}
of the information for each station that is available. A version of
this file is distributed with {GSODR} internally and can be updated
with update_internal_isd_history().
-
get_updates() - this function downloads the changelog for the GSOD
data from the NCEI’s server and reorders it by the most recent changes
first.
-
update_internal_isd_history() - this function downloads the latest
station list from the NCEI’s server updates the package’s internal
database of stations and their metadata. Not recommended for normal
use.
When reformatting data either with get_GSOD() or reformat_GSOD(),
all units are converted to International System of Units (SI), e.g.,
inches to millimetres and Fahrenheit to Celsius. File output is returned
as a data.table object, summarising each year by station, which also
includes vapour pressure and relative humidity elements calculated from
existing data in GSOD. Additional data are calculated by this R package
using the original data and included in the final data. These include
vapour pressure (ea and es) and relative humidity calculated using the
improved August-Roche-Magnus approximation (Alduchov and Eskridge 1996).
For more information see the description of the data provided by NCEI,

Using {GSODR}
The most common work might be getting data for a single location. Here’s
an example of fetching data for a station in Toowoomba, Queensland, AU
in 2021.
library(GSODR)
tbar <- get_GSOD(years = 2021, station = "955510-99999")

Other Sources of Weather Data in R
There are several other sources of weather data and ways of retrieving
them through R. Several are also rOpenSci
projects.
{clifro} from
rOpenSci is a web portal to the New
Zealand National Climate Database and provides public access (via
subscription) to around 6,500 various climate stations (see
https://cliflo.niwa.co.nz/ for more information). Collating and
manipulating data from CliFlo (hence clifro) and importing into R for
further analysis, exploration and visualisation is now straightforward
and coherent. The user is required to have an Internet connection, and a
current CliFlo subscription (free) if data from stations, other than the
public Reefton electronic weather station, is sought.
{GSODTools}
by Florian Detsch is an R package that
offers similar functionality as {GSODR}, but also has the ability to
graph the data and working with data for time series analysis.
{nasapower} from
rOpenSci aims to make it quick
and easy to automate downloading of the NASA-POWER global meteorology,
surface solar energy and climatology data in your R session as a tidy
tibble object for analysis and use in modelling or other purposes.
POWER (Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resource) data are freely
available for download with varying spatial resolutions dependent on the
original data and with several temporal resolutions depending on the
POWER parameter and community.
{riem} from
rOpenSci allows to get weather data
from Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) stations (airports) in
the whole world thanks to the Iowa Environment Mesonet website.
{rnoaa}, from
rOpenSci offers tools for
interacting with and downloading weather data from the United States
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration but lacks support for
GSOD data.
{stationaRy}, from
Richard Iannone offers hourly meteorological data from stations located
all over the world. There is a wealth of data available, with historic
weather data accessible from nearly 30,000 stations.
{weathercan} from
rOpenSci makes it easier to
search for and download multiple months/years of historical weather data
from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) website.
{weatherOz} aims to
facilitate access and download weather and climate data for Australia
from Australian data sources. Data are sourced from from the Western
Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development
(DPIRD) and the Scientific Information for Land Owners (SILO) API
endpoints and the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology’s (BOM)
FTP server.
{worldmet} provides an
easy way to access data from the NOAA Integrated Surface Database (ISD)
(the same database {GSODR} provides access to. The ISD contains detailed
surface meteorological data from around the world for over 35,000
locations. However, rather than daily values, the package outputs
(typically hourly meteorological data) and works very well with the
{openair} package.

Other Sources of Weather Data in R
There are several other sources of weather data and ways of retrieving them through R. Several are also rOpenSci projects.
{clifro} from rOpenSci is a web portal to the New Zealand National Climate Database and provides public access (via subscription) to around 6,500 various climate stations (see https://cliflo.niwa.co.nz/ for more information). Collating and manipulating data from CliFlo (hence clifro) and importing into R for further analysis, exploration and visualisation is now straightforward and coherent. The user is required to have an Internet connection, and a current CliFlo subscription (free) if data from stations, other than the public Reefton electronic weather station, is sought.
{GSODTools} by Florian Detsch is an R package that offers similar functionality as {GSODR}, but also has the ability to graph the data and working with data for time series analysis.
{nasapower} from
rOpenSci aims to make it quick
and easy to automate downloading of the NASA-POWER global meteorology,
surface solar energy and climatology data in your R session as a tidy
tibble object for analysis and use in modelling or other purposes.
POWER (Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resource) data are freely
available for download with varying spatial resolutions dependent on the
original data and with several temporal resolutions depending on the
POWER parameter and community.
{riem} from rOpenSci allows to get weather data from Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) stations (airports) in the whole world thanks to the Iowa Environment Mesonet website.
{rnoaa}, from rOpenSci offers tools for interacting with and downloading weather data from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration but lacks support for GSOD data.
{stationaRy}, from Richard Iannone offers hourly meteorological data from stations located all over the world. There is a wealth of data available, with historic weather data accessible from nearly 30,000 stations.
{weathercan} from rOpenSci makes it easier to search for and download multiple months/years of historical weather data from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) website.
{weatherOz} aims to facilitate access and download weather and climate data for Australia from Australian data sources. Data are sourced from from the Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) and the Scientific Information for Land Owners (SILO) API endpoints and the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology’s (BOM) FTP server.
{worldmet} provides an easy way to access data from the NOAA Integrated Surface Database (ISD) (the same database {GSODR} provides access to. The ISD contains detailed surface meteorological data from around the world for over 35,000 locations. However, rather than daily values, the package outputs (typically hourly meteorological data) and works very well with the {openair} package.
