Description
CRN daily data is hosted on the ftp as a collection
of individual files for every station for every year. Once that
data has been downloaded with downloadCRN, the individual
files can be collated into one monolithic file with this
function. In addition, a metadata file is created.
Usage
1
collateDaily(directory = DAILY_DIR)
Arguments
directory
The default directory is the directory
where the source datafiles are downloaded to by the
function downloadCRN. This should not be changed.
Details
The function will examine the directory and read the
datafiles in that directory. It will create two output
files and write them into your working directory: A data file
and a metadata file. A date code is added to the file name
of the data file.
Value
The side effect is writing two datafiles for the daily data:
a file of data for all the stations and variable. And a metadata file.
