pd_get: Perform action on "prism data"

In prism: Access Data from the Oregon State Prism Climate Project

Perform action on "prism data"

Description

"prism data", i.e., pd are the folder names returned by prism_archive_ls() or prism_archive_subset(). These functions get the name or date from these data, or convert these data to a file name.

pd_get_date() extracts the date from the prism data. Date is returned in yyyy-mm-dd format. For monthly data, dd is 01 and for annual data mm is also 01. For normals, an empty character is returned.

pd_get_type() parses the variable from the prism data.

prism_md() is a deprecated function that has been replaced with pd_get_name() and pd_get_date()

pd_to_file() converts prism data to a fully specified .bil file, i.e., the full path to the file in the prism archive. A warning is posted if the file does not exist in the local prism archive.

pd_get_name(pd)

pd_get_date(pd)
