Scrapping meteorological (Synop) data from the Ogimet webpage

Description

Downloading hourly or daily (meteorological) data from the Synop stations available at https://www.ogimet.com/

Usage

meteo_ogimet(interval, date, coords = FALSE, station, precip_split = TRUE)

Arguments

interval	'daily' or 'hourly' dataset to retrieve - given as character
date	start and finish date (e.g., date = c("2018-05-01", "2018-07-01")) - character or Date class object
coords	add geographical coordinates of the station (logical value TRUE or FALSE)
station	WMO ID of meteorological station(s). Character or numeric vector
precip_split	whether to split precipitation fields into 6/12/24h numeric fields (logical value TRUE (default) or FALSE); valid only for hourly time step

Value

A data.frame of measured values with columns describing the meteorological parameters (e.g. air temperature, wind speed, cloudines). Depending on the interval, at a given hour or day. Different parameters are returned for daily and hourly datasets.

17. HKm - height of cloud base

18. InsoD1 - insolation in hours

19. Viskm - visibility in kilometres

20. Snowcm - depth of snow cover in centimetres

21. pr6 - precicipitation totals in 6 hours

22. pr12 - precicipitation totals in 12 hours

23. pr24 - precicipitation totals in 24 hours

24. TemperatureCAvg - average air temperature at 2 metres above ground level. Values given in Celsius degrees

25. TemperatureCMax - maximum air temperature at 2 metres above ground level. Values given in Celsius degrees

26. TemperatureCMin - minimum air temperature at 2 metres above ground level. Values given in Celsius degrees

27. TdAvgC - average dew point temperature at 2 metres above ground level. Values given in Celsius degrees

28. HrAvg - average relative humidity. Values given in %

29. WindkmhDir - wind direction

30. WindkmhInt - wind speed in km/h

31. WindkmhGust - wind gust in km/h

32. PresslevHp - Sea level pressure in hPa

33. Precmm - precipitation totals in mm

34. TotClOct - total cloudiness in octants

35. lowClOct - cloudiness by low level clouds in octants

36. SunD1h - sunshine duration in hours

37. PreselevHp - atmospheric pressure measured at altitude of station in hPa

38. SnowDepcm - depth of snow cover in centimetres
