Description Usage Arguments Value
Filters available weather stations based on a specified
minimum coverage (i.e., percent non-missing hourly observations). Weather
stations with non-missing data for fewer days than specified by
coverage
will be excluded from the county average.

|
fips |
A character string giving the five-digit U.S. FIPS county code of the county for which the user wants to pull weather data. |
hourly_data |
A dataframe as returned by the |
coverage |
A numeric value in the range of 0 to 1 that specifies the desired percentage coverage for each weather variable (i.e., what percent of each weather variable must be non-missing to include the data from a station when calculating hourly values averaged across stations). |
A list with two elements: df
and stations
. df
is
a dataframe of hourly weather data filtered based on the specfified
coverage, as well as columns ("var"_reporting
) for each weather
variable showing the number of stations contributing to the average for that
variable for each hour. The second element, stations
, is a dataframe
giving statistical information for stations that meet the specified coverage
requirements. The column station
gives the station id (USAF and
WBAN identification numbers pasted together, separated by "-"). Note: One
of these identification ids is sometimes missing. For example, a value in
station
might be 722029-NA
. The column var
gives the weather variable associated with the row of statistical values
for each station and variable combination. calc_coverage
gives the
percentage coverage for each station-weather variable combination. These
values will all be greater than or equal to the specified coverage
value. standard_dev
gives the standard deviation of values for each
station-weather variable combination. max
and min
give the
minimum and maximum values, and range
gives the range of values in
each station-weather variable combination. These last four statistical
calculations (standard_dev
, max
, min
, and
range
) are only included for the seven core hourly weather variables,
which include "wind_direction"
, "wind_speed"
,
"ceiling_height"
, "visibility_distance"
, "temperature"
,
"temperature_dewpoint"
, and "air_pressure"
. (The values of
these columns are set to NA
for other variables, such as quality
flag data.)
