Defines functions get_power_apsim_met

Documented in get_power_apsim_met

#'
#' This function requires the \CRANpkg{nasapower} package version 4.0.0.
#' 
#' It looks like the earliest year you can request data for is 1984.
#'
#' @title Get NASA-POWER data for an APSIM met file
#' @description Uses \code{\link[nasapower]{get_power}} from the \CRANpkg{nasapower} package to download data to create an APSIM met file.
#' @name get_power_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
#' @return returns an object of class \sQuote{met} and writes a file to disk when filename is supplied.
#' @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.
#' @export
#' @examples 
#' \dontrun{
#' require(nasapower)
