Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References Examples

Fetch a tidy data.frame with homogenized temperatures for 338 Canadian climate stations, optionally subset to a given interval (monthly, seasonal, or annual).

1	cantemp_fetch(interval = "annual")

interval

The interval of interest. One of "monthly" (monthly intervals), "seasonal" (seasonal intervals), "annual" (annual intervals), or "all" (all intervals combined).

A data.frame with homogenized temperature data for 338 Canadian climate stations, averaged at the specified interval. Columns include:

prov: Two-letter abbreviation for province
station: Name of climate station
stnid: Climate station identifier
year: Observation year
period: Observation period (either a month, season, or "Annual", as specified in argument interval)
temp: Observed mean temperature in degrees celcius
flag: Flag giving information about temperature data (M: missing value, E: estimated during archiving process, a: adjusted for homogeneity, NA: original value)
