get_station_info(df, decdegrees = 0.1, loc_key = "Location_code")

Arguments

df	A dataframe or tbl_df object that contains columns 'Latitude' and 'Longitude', and some grouping column to specify distinct locations.
decdegrees	The distance, in decimal degrees,
loc_key	The name of the grouping column that specifies distinct locations in the dataframe.

Value

a dataframe containing details for all Mesonet stations that are within some number of decimal degrees of the latitudes and longitudes in your input dataset.

Examples

    ## Not run: get_station_info(df = bean_data, loc_key = "Location_code")
