Import data from Brazilian meteorological stations

bdmep_import(
  id = c("83844", "83967"),
  sdate = "01/01/1961",
  edate = format(Sys.Date(), "%d/%m/%Y"),
  email = "your@email.com",
  passwd = "your-password",
  verbose = TRUE,
  destdir = NULL,
  na.strings = "-9999"
)

`id`	A character vector with codes of meteorological stations
`sdate`	Start date in "d/m/Y" format
`edate`	End date in "d/m/Y" format, default values `format(Sys.Date(), "%d/%m/%Y")`
`email`	E-mail to access BDMEP
`passwd`	Password to access BDMEP
`verbose`	If TRUE, prints login sucessfull.
`destdir`	A character string with the path where the downloaded data is saved. If it is NULL, data will not be saved in disk.
`na.strings`	a character string which is to be interpreted as NA values. `na.strings` is only used when destdir is not NULL.

The data are in sub-daily time scale. A minimum data quality control is applied to the data. This include: a chronological sequence check; filling data from missing dates with NA; remove duplicated data. Time variables (year, month, day, hour) are aggregated into a POSIX object in UTC

A data frame with variables in columns (see bdmep_description) and observations (date and time) along rows.
