buoy: Get NOAA buoy data from the National Buoy Data Center

In leighseverson/rnoaa: 'NOAA' Weather Data from R

Description

Get NOAA buoy data from the National Buoy Data Center

Usage

buoy(dataset, buoyid, year = NULL, datatype = NULL, ...)

buoys(dataset, ...)

buoy_stations(refresh = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

dataset	(character) Dataset name to query. See below for Details. Required
buoyid	Buoy ID, can be numeric/integer/character. Required
year	(integer) Year of data collection. Optional
datatype	(character) Data type, one of 'c', 'cc', 'p', 'o'. Optional
...	Curl options passed on to GET. Optional
refresh	(logical) Whether to use cached data (FALSE) or get new data (FALSE). Default: FALSE

Details

Functions:

• buoy_stations - Get buoy stations. A cached version of the dataset is available in the package. Beware, takes a long time to run if you do refresh = TRUE

• buoys - Get available buoys given a dataset name

• buoy - Get data given some combination of dataset name, buoy ID, year, and datatype

Options for the dataset parameter. One of:

• adcp - Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data

• adcp2 - MMS Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data

• cwind - Continuous Winds data

• dart - Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis data

• mmbcur - Marsh-McBirney Current Measurements data

• ocean - Oceanographic data

• pwind - Peak Winds data

• stdmet - Standard Meteorological data

• swden - Spectral Wave Density data with Spectral Wave Direction data

• wlevel - Water Level data

Examples

## Not run: 
# Get buoy station information
x <- buoy_stations()
library("leaflet")
leaflet(data = na.omit(x)) %>%
  leaflet::addTiles() %>%
  leaflet::addCircles(~lon, ~lat, opacity = 0.5)

# Get available buoys
buoys(dataset = 'cwind')

# Get data for a buoy
## if no year or datatype specified, we get the first file
buoy(dataset = 'cwind', buoyid = 46085)

# Including specific year
buoy(dataset = 'cwind', buoyid = 41001, year = 1999)

# Including specific year and datatype
buoy(dataset = 'cwind', buoyid = 41001, year = 2008, datatype = "cc")
buoy(dataset = 'cwind', buoyid = 41001, year = 2008, datatype = "cc")

# Other datasets
buoy(dataset = 'ocean', buoyid = 41029)

# curl debugging
library('httr')
buoy(dataset = 'cwind', buoyid = 46085, config=verbose())

# some buoy ids are character, case doesn't matter, we'll account for it
buoy(dataset = "stdmet", buoyid = "VCAF1")
buoy(dataset = "stdmet", buoyid = "wplf1")
buoy(dataset = "dart", buoyid = "dartu")
