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 Livneh database: a 1/16 degree gridded weather database that contains data for the years 1915 - 2011.

Usage

extract_daily_weather_from_livneh(
  dir_data,
  dir_temp,
  site_ids,
  site_ids_by_dbW,
  coords,
  start_year,
  end_year,
  f_check = TRUE,
  backup = TRUE,
  comp_type = "gzip",
  dbW_digits = 2,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

dir_data	directory containing Livneh data
dir_temp	the database directory
site_ids	the sites to gather weather data for
coords	the coordinates for each site in WGS84 format
start_year	the start year in the sequence of data to gather
end_year	the end year in the sequence of data to gather
f_check	flag to check for errors in file structure - TRUE for check else no integrity check
backup	flag to create a backup of the weather data prior to insertion in the database (can create large files) - TRUE for backup else no backup
comp_type	the compression type of the data to be inserted into the database
run_parallel	whether the extraction should be ran in parallel
num_cores	the number of cores to use if parallel
