In kcf-jackson/cleanIGRA: Converts NCDC's raw Integrated Global Radiosonde Archive (IGRA) data into an R dataframe

Key functionality

This package is created to do only one task; it parses the raw IGRA data and converts them into an R dataframe. The two main functions are clean_IGRA_v1 and clean_IGRA_v2; the former parses the IGRA v1 data (discontinued on May 31, 2019), and the latter parses the IGRA v2 data. Here are two examples.

IGRA v1 data

# IGRA v1 data (.y2d, .dat, .mly and .mly.201607)
library(cleanIGRA)
filepath <- system.file("extdata//v1", "61902.y2d", package = "cleanIGRA")  
mydata <- clean_IGRA_v1(filepath)

DT::datatable(head(mydata, 100), options = list(scrollX = TRUE,  pageLength = 5))  # show results

IGRA v2 data

# IGRA v2 data (.txt)
library(cleanIGRA)
filepath <- system.file("extdata//v2", "ASM00094703-data.txt", package = "cleanIGRA")
mydata <- clean_IGRA_v2(filepath)

DT::datatable(head(mydata, 100), options = list(scrollX = TRUE,  pageLength = 5))  # show results
