In rOpenSpain/climaemet: Climate AEMET Tools

climaemet (development version)

• aemet_forecast_fires() now uses terra::combineLevels() (terra >= 1.8-10).
• Use CRAN DOI: 10.32614/CRAN.package.climaemet.
• Now the API key with the highest remaining quota is selected when performing a call (in prior versions the API Key was chosen randomly). This is expected to delay API throttling.

climaemet 1.4.0

• New functions:
  • aemet_alerts() to get current meteorological alerts issued by AEMET.
  • Helper function aemet_alert_zones() to obtain the zoning defined by AEMET for the alerts.
  • aemet_forecast_fires() to get a SpatRaster with the forecast of risk level of wildfires.
• Increase timeout limit with httr2::req_timeout().
• Better management of non valid/duplicated/empty API keys.
• New packages added to 'Suggest': terra.

climaemet 1.3.0

• Migrate from httr to httr2 (#50).
• New functions for beaches: aemet_forecast_beaches() and aemet_beaches() (#54).
• Use progress bars in downloads thanks to cli. New argument progress = TRUE in most functions.
• It is possible to use several API keys to avoid API throttling, see ?climaemet::aemet_api_key (#53).
• New helper function dms2decdegrees_2().
• Update aemet_munic with January 2024 data.
• New package in 'Suggests': mapSpain.

climaemet 1.2.1

• On aemet_monthly_period(extract_metadata = TRUE) honor the start and end parameters.
• Update docs.

climaemet 1.2.0

• Now it is possible to extract metadata from each API call using the parameter extract_metadata = TRUE (#40).
• Improve the API call system to avoid API throttling.
• aemet_stations() result is cached temporarily on tempdir(), avoiding unneeded API calls.

climaemet 1.1.1

• Fix an error on the conversion to sf objects.
• Documentation improvements.

climaemet 1.1.0

• Add lubridate to "Suggest".
• Add aemet_munic dataset.
• Add scales to Suggests.
• Add forecast functions:
  • aemet_forecast_daily()
  • aemet_forecast_tidy()
  • aemet_forecast_hourly()
  • aemet_forecast_vars_available()
• Improve get_data_aemet()/get_metadata_aemet() to support more endpoints.
• Add new vignette: vignette("extending-climaemet").
• Fix error on ggclimat_walter_lieth() (#35).

climaemet 1.0.2

• Fix docs as per CRAN request

climaemet 1.0.1

• Add new citation.
• Adapt some examples.
• Remove lubridate dependency.
• No more messages when loading the library.

climaemet 1.0.0

• package added to rOpenSpain project: repo transferred to https://github.com/rOpenSpain/climaemet

Breaking changes:

• apikey parameter has been deprecated on all the functions. Now the API Key is globally managed via an environment variable: see aemet_api_key().

Major changes

• Results are provided on tibble format.
• Results are parsed to the correct formats (numbers and dates when possible).
• Spatial support: New option return_sf would return sf objects instead of tibble objects. sf(>= 0.9) required, listed on 'Suggests' so it is not strictly required.
• API functions gain new parameters, as verbose, to check results.

Enhancements

• aemet_last_obs() now is vectorized and it can also retrieve all the stations at a glance with station = "all"
• aemet_last_obs() now is vectorized and it can also retrieve all the stations at a glance with station = "all"
• aemet_daily_clim() now is vectorized and it can also retrieve all the stations at a glance with station = "all"
• New function get_metadata_aemet().
• New function ggclimat_walter_lieth(). This function is now the default for climatogram_* functions (experimental). Old behavior can be reproduced with options ggplot2 = FALSE.
• Plot functions gains new parameters (verbose and ...). Now it is possible to pass colors to the plotting functions.
• New example data sets: climaemet_9434_climatogram, climaemet_9434_temp, climaemet_9434_wind.

Internal changes

• Code optimization.
• Dependencies have been reviewed.
• Now palettes are generated with hcl.colors() (base R)

climaemet 0.2.0

• rename ggstripes_station() to climatestripes_station().
• climatogram_normal(). New function to plot a Walter & Lieth climatic diagram from normal climatology values.
• climatogram_period(). New function to plot a Walter & Lieth climatic diagram for a specified time period.
• ggwindrose(). New function to plot windrose diagram.
• windrose_days(). New function to plot a windrose (speed/direction) diagram of a station over a days period.
• windrose_period(). New function to plot a windrose (speed/direction) diagram of a station over a time period.

climaemet 0.1.0

• First release July 2020.
