In GuillermoMarcillo/RyeBiom: Point simulation of rye cover crop under ideal conditions

# The Weather_rb function
#
# This function builds a weather input array in a format such that a rye
# cover crop simulation can be run over a 2-year typical growth season,
# that is, from seeding the cover crop in the Fall to termination in the
# spring of the subsequent year.
#
# It is meant to work on a .csv, or .txt file with weather records, as
# usually downloaded and processed in the format needed by the Agricultural
# production simulator (APSIM v.7.8)
