In davidcarslaw/worldmet: Import Surface Meteorological Data from NOAA Integrated Surface Database (ISD)

worldmet 0.9.9

The quiet argument of importNOAA() now also toggles the progress bar.

Fixed join problem due to {dplyr} updates.
Fixed spelling mistakes in weatherCodes
Converted the {worldmet} vignette to an article. This should ensure it is no longer reliant on NOAA's servers. It can now be accessed at https://openair-project.github.io/worldmet/articles/worldmet.html.

worldmet 0.9.6

importNOAA() will now display a progress bar when multiple years of met data are to be imported.
Improved the formatting of the popups in getMeta() in line with openairmaps::networkMap().
Added the provider argument to getMeta(), allowing for users to define one or more leaflet basemaps. Uses the same default as openairmaps::networkMap().
exportADMS() now invisibly returns the input data, in line with, e.g., readr::write_csv().

worldmet 0.9.5

do not add precip to exportADMS()
Cloud cover data mostly spans 1 to 8 Oktas and no zero (clear sky); use ceil_hgt = 220000 (unlimited) to indicate clear sky when cloud cover is reported as missing.
Do not use ftp for site information.

worldmet 0.9.4

Fix precipitation. The precip_12 gives the sum of the precipitation over the past 12 hours and the sum of this column should be the annual total in mm. precip spreads the 12-hour total evenly across the previous 12 hours. {worldmet} no longer tries to combine 12 and 6 hour totals.

worldmet 0.9.3

Catch missing data error and report missing when importing data using importNOAA()

worldmet 0.9.2

Exporting weatherCodes so that everything works when used by other packages through "explicit namespacing"" (e.g. worldmet::importNOAA()) without having to library(worldmet).

worldmet 0.9.1

fix bug when lat and lon provided in getMeta
fix bug when several years are selected and columns are different lengths when n.core = 1

worldmet 0.9.1

Significant changes due to NOAA storage formats and different storage locations
Remove options for precipitation and present weather in importNOAA(); just return everything
Return data as {tibble}

worldmet 0.8.8

export getMetaLive() to allow users direct access to all meta data and easy re-use without re-downloading.
add option path to allow users to save met data as an rds file.
deprecate fresh option in getMeta().
Assume 9999 is missing for visibility (was 999999)

fix short WBAN codes.
make sure all meta data are used and not only sites with most recent year

worldmet 0.8.4

query live meta data when using getMeta()
parallel processing for sites and years
use read_csv() for meta data (read.csv() seems very slow in R 3.4.3)

fix bug when data not available for a year when using parallel processing

worldmet 0.8.0

downloads now from webserver rather than ftp. Should be faster and allow more downloads. Thanks to Stuart Grange.
add parallel processing using {foreach}

worldmet 0.7.4

don't use closeAllConnections()

worldmet 0.7.3

default to downloading fresh meta data each time
update meta data

fix current year problem (base on meta data available in package)

worldmet 0.7.2

make sure data are returned with NA when missing and not NaN

worldmet 0.6

Add ability to return precipitation measurements, if available.
Add precipitation to exportADMS()
