Get GSOD data for an APSIM met file

Description

Uses get_GSOD from the GSODR package to download data to create an APSIM met file.

Usage

get_gsod_apsim_met(
  lonlat,
  dates,
  wrt.dir = ".",
  filename = NULL,
  distance = 100,
  station,
  fillin.radn = FALSE
)

Arguments

lonlat	Longitude and latitude vector
dates	date ranges
wrt.dir	write directory
filename	file name for writing out to disk
distance	distance in kilometers for the nearest station
station	choose the station either by index or character
fillin.radn	whether to fill in radiation data using the nasapower pacakge. Default is FALSE.

Details

This function requires the GSODR package.

If the filename is not provided it will not write the file to disk, but it will return an object of class ‘met’. This is useful in case manipulation is required before writing to disk.

Value

returns an object of class ‘met’ and writes a file to disk when filename is supplied.

Note

This source of data does not provide solar radiation. If ‘fillin.radn’ is TRUE it fill in radiation data using the nasapower package.

Examples

## Not run: 
require(GSODR)
## This will not write a file to disk
gsd <- get_gsod_apsim_met(lonlat = c(-93,42), dates = c("2012-01-01","2012-12-31"),
                          fillin.radn = TRUE)
summary(gsd)
## Check for reasonable ranges
check_apsim_met(gsd)

## End(Not run)
