Defines functions get_gsod_apsim_met

Documented in get_gsod_apsim_met

#'
#' This function requires the \CRANpkg{GSODR} package.
#'
#' @title Get GSOD data for an APSIM met file
#' @description Uses \code{\link[GSODR]{get_GSOD}} from the \CRANpkg{GSODR} package to download data to create an APSIM met file.
#' @name get_gsod_apsim_met
#' @param lonlat Longitude and latitude vector
#' @param dates date ranges
#' @param wrt.dir write directory
#' @param filename file name for writing out to disk
#' @param distance distance in kilometers for the nearest station
#' @param station choose the station either by index or character
#' @param fillin.radn whether to fill in radiation data using the nasapower pacakge. Default is FALSE.
#' @details If the filename is not provided it will not write the file to disk, 
#' but it will return an object of class \sQuote{met}. This is useful in case manipulation
#' is required before writing to disk.
#' @note This source of data does not provide solar radiation. If \sQuote{fillin.radn} is
#' TRUE it fill in radiation data using the nasapower package.
#' @return returns an object of class \sQuote{met} and writes a file to disk when filename is supplied.
#' @export
#' @examples 
#' \dontrun{
#' require(GSODR)
