Get BOM Radar Locations

BOM maintains a shapefile of radar site names and their geographic locations. For ease, we’ll just use the .dbf file part of the shapefile to extract the product codes and radar locations. The file is available from BOM’s anonymous FTP server with spatial data ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/home/adfd/spatial/, specifically the DBF file portion of a shapefile, ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/home/adfd/spatial/IDR00007.dbf.

curl::curl_download(
  "ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/home/adfd/spatial/IDR00007.dbf",
  destfile = paste0(tempdir(), "radar_locations.dbf"),
  mode = "wb",
  quiet = TRUE
)

new_radar_locations <-
  foreign::read.dbf(paste0(tempdir(), "radar_locations.dbf"), as.is = TRUE)

new_radar_locations$LocationID <-
  ifelse(
    test = nchar(new_radar_locations$LocationID) == 1,
    yes = paste0("0", new_radar_locations$LocationID),
    no = new_radar_locations$LocationID
  )

data.table::setDT(new_radar_locations)
data.table::setkey(new_radar_locations, "Name")
