TimeSeries: Fetches time series data for a set of locations
In RFc: Client for FetchClimate Web Service

Description Usage Arguments Value Functions Examples

For a given set of geo-locations (lat - lon pairs) and given time interval the time series is formed by splitting the time interval either by years or by days or by hours

fcTimeSeriesYearly(variable, latitude, longitude, firstYear, lastYear,
  firstDay = 1, lastDay = 365, startHour = 0, stopHour = 23,
  url = "http://fetchclimate2.cloudapp.net/", dataSets = "ANY",
  reproduceFor = "NOW", verbose = F)

fcTimeSeriesDaily(variable, latitude, longitude, firstDay = 1,
  lastDay = 365, firstYear = 1961, lastYear = 1990, startHour = 0,
  stopHour = 23, url = "http://fetchclimate2.cloudapp.net/",
  dataSets = "ANY", reproduceFor = "NOW", verbose = F)

fcTimeSeriesHourly(variable, latitude, longitude, startHour, stopHour,
  firstYear = 1961, lastYear = 1990, firstDay = 1, lastDay = 365,
  url = "http://fetchclimate2.cloudapp.net/", dataSets = "ANY",
  reproduceFor = "NOW", verbose = F)

`variable`	An identifier of the variable to fetch. To get the list of available variables use 'fcVariables()' function or see "Available data" section of documentaion
`latitude`	A numeric vector. Latitudes of the point set to fetch values for
`longitude`	A numeric vector. Longitudes of the point set to fetch values for
`firstYear`	A numeric scalar. Temporal coverage definition: The lower bound of years over which the averaging is performed
`lastYear`	A numeric scalar. Temporal coverage definition: The upper bound of years over which the averaging is performed
`firstDay`	A numeric scalar. Temporal coverage definition: The lower bound of the days interval within each year over which the averaging is performed
`lastDay`	A numeric scalar. Temporal coverage definition: The upper bound of the days interval within each year over which the averaging is performed
`startHour`	A numeric scalar. Temporal coverage definition: The lower bound of the hours interval within each day over which the averaging is performed
`stopHour`	A numeric scalar. Temporal coverage definition: The upper bound of the hours interval within each day over which the averaging is performed
`url`	The URL of the service to query the data from
`dataSets`	A character vector. An identifier of the data set to fetch the data from. The special value "ANY" enables data stitching from all available data sets.
`reproduceFor`	A character scalar. A string containing the time for which the result must correspond. The format is "YYYY-MM-DD". The special value "NOW" fetch the data using the latest FetchClimate configuration available.
`verbose`	A logical scalar. If set to TRUE the method outputs its actions verbosely

A list. Contains the following entries: values, sd, provenance. Each of entries have the following dimensions (using values as an example): length(values) = point set count * time series length; nrow(values) = point set count; ncol(values) = time series length;

fcTimeSeriesYearly: Yearly timeseries fetching
fcTimeSeriesDaily: Daily timeseries fetching
fcTimeSeriesHourly: Hourly timeseries fetching

#Fetching a whole year average time series
