#' Import data from King's College London networks
#'
#' Function for importing hourly mean data from King's College London networks.
#' Files are imported from a remote server operated by King's College London
#' that provides air quality data files as R data objects.
#'
#' The \code{importKCL} function has been written to make it easy to import
#' data from the King's College London air pollution networks. KCL have
#' provided .RData files (R workspaces) of all individual sites and years for
#' the KCL networks. These files are updated on a weekly basis. This approach
#' requires a link to the Internet to work.
#'
#' There are several advantages over the web portal approach where .csv files
#' are downloaded. First, it is quick to select a range of sites, pollutants
#' and periods (see examples below). Second, storing the data as .RData objects
#' is very efficient as they are about four times smaller than .csv files ---
#' which means the data downloads quickly and saves bandwidth. Third, the
#' function completely avoids any need for data manipulation or setting time
#' formats, time zones etc. Finally, it is easy to import many years of data
#' beyond the current limit of about 64,000 lines. The final point makes it
#' possible to download several long time series in one go. The function also
#' has the advantage that the proper site name is imported and used in
#' \code{openair} functions.
#'
#' The site codes and pollutant names can be upper or lower case. The function
#' will issue a warning when data less than six months old is downloaded, which
#' may not be ratified.
#'
#' The data are imported by stacking sites on top of one another and will have
#' field names \code{date}, \code{site}, \code{code} (the site code) and
#' pollutant(s). Sometimes it is useful to have columns of site data. This can
#' be done using the \code{reshape} function --- see examples below.
#'
#' The situation for particle measurements is not straightforward given the
#' variety of methods used to measure particle mass and changes in their use
#' over time. The \code{importKCL} function imports two measures of PM10 where
#' available. \code{PM10_raw} are TEOM measurements with a 1.3 factor applied
#' to take account of volatile losses. The \code{PM10} data is a current best
#' estimate of a gravimetric equivalent measure as described below. NOTE! many
#' sites have several instruments that measure PM10 or PM2.5. In the case of
#' FDMS measurements, these are given as separate site codes (see below). For
#' example "MY1" will be TEOM with VCM applied and "MY7" is the FDMS data.
#'
#' Where FDMS data are used the volatile and non-volatile components are
#' separately reported i.e. v10 = volatile PM10, v2.5 = volatile PM2.5, nv10 =
#' non-volatile PM10 and nv2.5 = non-volatile PM2.5. Therefore, PM10 = v10 +
#' nv10 and PM2.5 = v2.5 + nv2.5.
#'
#' For the assessment of the EU Limit Values, PM10 needs to be measured using
#' the reference method or one shown to be equivalent to the reference method.
#' Defra carried out extensive trials between 2004 and 2006 to establish which
#' types of particulate analysers in use in the UK were equivalent. These
#' trials found that measurements made using Partisol, FDMS, BAM and SM200
#' instruments were shown to be equivalent to the PM10 reference method.
#' However, correction factors need to be applied to measurements from the
#' SM200 and BAM instruments. Importantly, the TEOM was demonstrated as not
#' being equivalent to the reference method due to the loss of volatile PM,
#' even when the 1.3 correction factor was applied. The Volatile Correction
#' Model (VCM) was developed for Defra at King's to allow measurements of PM10
#' from TEOM instruments to be converted to reference equivalent; it uses the
#' measurements of volatile PM made using nearby FDMS instruments to correct
#' the measurements made by the TEOM. It passed the equivalence testing using
#' the same methodology used in the Defra trials and is now the recommended
#' method for correcting TEOM measurements (Defra, 2009). VCM correction of
#' TEOM measurements can only be applied after 1st January 2004, when
#' sufficiently widespread measurements of volatile PM became available. The
#' 1.3 correction factor is now considered redundant for measurements of PM10
#' made after 1st January 2004. Further information on the VCM can be found at
#' \url{http://www.volatile-correction-model.info/}.
#'
#' All PM10 statistics on the LondonAir web site, including the bulletins and
#' statistical tools (and in the RData objects downloaded using
#' \code{importKCL}), now report PM10 results as reference equivalent. For PM10
#' measurements made by BAM and SM200 analysers the applicable correction
#' factors have been applied. For measurements from TEOM analysers the 1.3
#' factor has been applied up to 1st January 2004, then the VCM method has been
#' used to convert to reference equivalent.
#'
#' The meteorological data are meant to represent 'typical' conditions in
#' London, but users may prefer to use their own data. The data provide a an
#' estimate of general meteorological conditions across Greater London. For
#' meteorological species (wd, ws, rain, solar) each data point is formed by
#' averaging measurements from a subset of LAQN monitoring sites that have been
#' identified as having minimal disruption from local obstacles and a long term
#' reliable dataset. The exact sites used varies between species, but include
#' between two and five sites per species. Therefore, the data should represent
#' 'London scale' meteorology, rather than local conditions.
#'
#' While the function is being developed, the following site codes should help
#' with selection. We will also make available other meta data such as site
#' type and location to make it easier to select sites based on other
#' information. Note that these codes need to be refined because only the
#' common species are available for export currently i.e. NOx, NO2, O3, CO,
#' SO2, PM10, PM2.5.

#' @inheritParams importAURN
#' @param site Site code of the network site to import e.g. "my1" is Marylebone
#' Road. Several sites can be imported with \code{site = c("my1", "kc1")} ---
#' to import Marylebone Road and North Kensignton for example.
#' @param met Should meteorological data be added to the import data? The
#' default is \code{FALSE}. If \code{TRUE} wind speed (m/s), wind direction
#' (degrees), solar radiation and rain amount are available. See details
#' below.
#' @param units By default the returned data frame expresses the units in mass
#' terms (ug/m3 for NOx, NO2, O3, SO2; mg/m3 for CO). Use \code{units =
#' "volume"} to use ppb etc. PM10_raw TEOM data are multiplied by 1.3 and
#' PM2.5 have no correction applied. See details below concerning PM10
#' concentrations.
#' @param progress Show a progress bar when many sites/years are being imported?
#' Defaults to `TRUE`.
#' @param extra Not currently used.
#' @export
#' @return Returns a data frame of hourly mean values with date in POSIXct
#' class and time zone GMT.

#' Import data from King's College London networks
#'
#' Function for importing hourly mean data from King's College London networks.
#' Files are imported from a remote server operated by King's College London
#' that provides air quality data files as R data objects.
#'
#' The \code{importKCL} function has been written to make it easy to import
#' data from the King's College London air pollution networks. KCL have
#' provided .RData files (R workspaces) of all individual sites and years for
#' the KCL networks. These files are updated on a weekly basis. This approach
#' requires a link to the Internet to work.
#'
#' There are several advantages over the web portal approach where .csv files
#' are downloaded. First, it is quick to select a range of sites, pollutants
#' and periods (see examples below). Second, storing the data as .RData objects
#' is very efficient as they are about four times smaller than .csv files ---
#' which means the data downloads quickly and saves bandwidth. Third, the
#' function completely avoids any need for data manipulation or setting time
#' formats, time zones etc. Finally, it is easy to import many years of data
#' beyond the current limit of about 64,000 lines. The final point makes it
#' possible to download several long time series in one go. The function also
#' has the advantage that the proper site name is imported and used in
#' \code{openair} functions.
#'
#' The site codes and pollutant names can be upper or lower case. The function
#' will issue a warning when data less than six months old is downloaded, which
#' may not be ratified.
#'
#' The data are imported by stacking sites on top of one another and will have
#' field names \code{date}, \code{site}, \code{code} (the site code) and
#' pollutant(s). Sometimes it is useful to have columns of site data. This can
#' be done using the \code{reshape} function --- see examples below.
#'
#' The situation for particle measurements is not straightforward given the
#' variety of methods used to measure particle mass and changes in their use
#' over time. The \code{importKCL} function imports two measures of PM10 where
#' available. \code{PM10_raw} are TEOM measurements with a 1.3 factor applied
#' to take account of volatile losses. The \code{PM10} data is a current best
#' estimate of a gravimetric equivalent measure as described below. NOTE! many
#' sites have several instruments that measure PM10 or PM2.5. In the case of
#' FDMS measurements, these are given as separate site codes (see below). For
#' example "MY1" will be TEOM with VCM applied and "MY7" is the FDMS data.
#'
#' Where FDMS data are used the volatile and non-volatile components are
#' separately reported i.e. v10 = volatile PM10, v2.5 = volatile PM2.5, nv10 =
#' non-volatile PM10 and nv2.5 = non-volatile PM2.5. Therefore, PM10 = v10 +
#' nv10 and PM2.5 = v2.5 + nv2.5.
#'
#' For the assessment of the EU Limit Values, PM10 needs to be measured using
#' the reference method or one shown to be equivalent to the reference method.
#' Defra carried out extensive trials between 2004 and 2006 to establish which
#' types of particulate analysers in use in the UK were equivalent. These
#' trials found that measurements made using Partisol, FDMS, BAM and SM200
#' instruments were shown to be equivalent to the PM10 reference method.
#' However, correction factors need to be applied to measurements from the
#' SM200 and BAM instruments. Importantly, the TEOM was demonstrated as not
#' being equivalent to the reference method due to the loss of volatile PM,
#' even when the 1.3 correction factor was applied. The Volatile Correction
#' Model (VCM) was developed for Defra at King's to allow measurements of PM10
#' from TEOM instruments to be converted to reference equivalent; it uses the
#' measurements of volatile PM made using nearby FDMS instruments to correct
#' the measurements made by the TEOM. It passed the equivalence testing using
#' the same methodology used in the Defra trials and is now the recommended
#' method for correcting TEOM measurements (Defra, 2009). VCM correction of
#' TEOM measurements can only be applied after 1st January 2004, when
#' sufficiently widespread measurements of volatile PM became available. The
#' 1.3 correction factor is now considered redundant for measurements of PM10
#' made after 1st January 2004. Further information on the VCM can be found at
#' \url{http://www.volatile-correction-model.info/}.
#'
#' All PM10 statistics on the LondonAir web site, including the bulletins and
#' statistical tools (and in the RData objects downloaded using
#' \code{importKCL}), now report PM10 results as reference equivalent. For PM10
#' measurements made by BAM and SM200 analysers the applicable correction
#' factors have been applied. For measurements from TEOM analysers the 1.3
#' factor has been applied up to 1st January 2004, then the VCM method has been
#' used to convert to reference equivalent.
#'
#' The meteorological data are meant to represent 'typical' conditions in
#' London, but users may prefer to use their own data. The data provide a an
#' estimate of general meteorological conditions across Greater London. For
#' meteorological species (wd, ws, rain, solar) each data point is formed by
#' averaging measurements from a subset of LAQN monitoring sites that have been
#' identified as having minimal disruption from local obstacles and a long term
#' reliable dataset. The exact sites used varies between species, but include
#' between two and five sites per species. Therefore, the data should represent
#' 'London scale' meteorology, rather than local conditions.
#'
#' While the function is being developed, the following site codes should help
#' with selection. We will also make available other meta data such as site
#' type and location to make it easier to select sites based on other
#' information. Note that these codes need to be refined because only the
#' common species are available for export currently i.e. NOx, NO2, O3, CO,
#' SO2, PM10, PM2.5.

#' @inheritParams importAURN
#' @param site Site code of the network site to import e.g. "my1" is Marylebone
#' Road. Several sites can be imported with \code{site = c("my1", "kc1")} ---
#' to import Marylebone Road and North Kensignton for example.
#' @param met Should meteorological data be added to the import data? The
#' default is \code{FALSE}. If \code{TRUE} wind speed (m/s), wind direction
#' (degrees), solar radiation and rain amount are available. See details
#' below.
#' @param units By default the returned data frame expresses the units in mass
#' terms (ug/m3 for NOx, NO2, O3, SO2; mg/m3 for CO). Use \code{units =
#' "volume"} to use ppb etc. PM10_raw TEOM data are multiplied by 1.3 and
#' PM2.5 have no correction applied. See details below concerning PM10
#' concentrations.
#' @param progress Show a progress bar when many sites/years are being imported?
#' Defaults to `TRUE`.
#' @param extra Not currently used.
#' @export
#' @return Returns a data frame of hourly mean values with date in POSIXct
#' class and time zone GMT.
