reshapeworldmet: Reshapes data from 'worldmet' or 'weathercan'

In miquelcaceres/meteoland: Landscape Meteorology Tools

Description

Reshapes weather station data acquired using the 'worldmet' or 'weathercan' R packages into formats useful for meteoland

Usage

reshapeworldmet(hourly_data, output = "SpatialPointsMeteorology", complete = TRUE,
                verbose = TRUE)
reshapeweathercan(hourly_data, daily_data = NULL, output = "SpatialPointsMeteorology",
                  complete = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

hourly_data	Hourly weather data. In the case of reshapeworldmet, a tibble or data frame returned by function 'importNOAA'. In the case of reshapeweathercan, a tibble or data frame returned by function 'weather_dl' with 'interval="hour"'.
daily_data	Daily weather data (only for reshapeweathercan), a tibble or data frame returned by function 'weather_dl' with 'interval="day"'.
output	Kind of output desired. Either 'SpatialPointsTopography', 'SpatialPointsMeteorology' or 'MeteorologyInterpolationData'.
complete	A flag to indicate that missing variables should be completed using function meteocomplete
verbose	A flag to show information of the reshape process in the console output.

Details

Note that to have precipitation included in downloads from 'worldmet' you should set 'precip = TRUE' when calling function 'importNOAA'. In the case of weathercan, precipitation is only provided for daily data (i.e. setting 'interval="day"' when calling 'weather_dl'), whereas wind speed and relative humidity are only availave for hourly data (i.e., setting 'interval="hour"' when calling 'weather_dl'). Hence, in meteoland we recommend downloading both daily and hourly data and then calling function reshapeweathercan to merge the two sources.

Value

An object of the class indicated in output.
