extract_daily_weather_from_gridMET: Extract daily gridded weather data from the gridMET dataset

In Burke-Lauenroth-Lab/SoilWat_R_Wrapper: Simulation Framework for SOILWAT2

Description

Extracts daily gridded weather data, including precipitation, maximum temperature and minimum temperature from the gridMET (Abatzoglou 2013) database: a 1/24 degree gridded weather database that contains data for the years 1979 - yesterday.

Usage

extract_daily_weather_from_gridMET(
  dir_data,
  site_ids,
  site_ids_by_dbW,
  coords,
  start_year,
  end_year,
  comp_type = "gzip",
  dbW_digits = 2,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

dir_data	A character string. The directory containing the gridMET dataset files.
site_ids	An integer vector. The indices of sites for which to extract gridMET weather data.
coords	A two-dimensional numerical object. The coordinates for each site in WGS84.
start_year	An integer value. The first calendar year for which to extract daily weather data.
end_year	An integer value. The last calendar year for which to extract daily weather data.
comp_type	A character string. The compression type used by the weather database.
dbW_digits	An integer value. The number of digits to which the daily weather values are rounded to.
verbose	A logical value.

Details

Run the function gridMET_download_and_check to download and check the dataset.
