as.met: Coerce Data Into a met Object

In oce: Analysis of Oceanographic Data

Coerce Data Into a met Object

Description

Coerces a dataset into a met dataset. This fills in only a few of the typical data fields, so the returned object is much sparser than the output from read.met(). Also, almost no metadata fields are filled in, so the resultant object does not store station location, units of the data, data-quality flags, etc. Anyone working with data from Environment Canada (reference 2) is advised to use read.met() instead of the present function.

Usage

as.met(time, temperature, pressure, u, v, filename = "(constructed from data)")

Arguments

time	Either a vector of observation times (or character strings that can be coerced into times) or the output from canadaHCD::hcd_hourly (see reference 1).
temperature	vector of temperatures.
pressure	vector of pressures.
u	vector of eastward wind speed in m/s.
v	vector of northward wind speed in m/s.
filename	optional string indicating data source

Value

A met object.
