export_data_to_CALMET: Export a CALMET UP.DAT file
In rich-iannone/aetheRa: Tools to acquire and work with upper air data.

export_data_to_CALMET(processed_sounding_data, export_all_times = FALSE,
  start_date, start_hour, end_date, end_hour, top_pressure_level,
  output_file_name = "up.txt", details_in_file_name = TRUE)

`processed_sounding_data`	the return object from the 'get_sounding_data' function.
`export_all_times`	providing TRUE for this will create an UP.DAT file with time bounds matching those in the 'processed_sounding_data' list object (created after use of the 'process.sounding.data' function). The default is set to FALSE, in which case values for the arguments 'start_date', 'start_hour', 'end_date', and 'end_hour' must be supplied.
`start_date`	a starting date intended for the UP.DAT output should be supplied if 'export_all_times' is set to FALSE (the default). The date should be supplied as a string in the format "YYYY-MM-DD".
`start_hour`	a starting hour must accompany the entry for 'start_date'. With 'export_all_times' set to FALSE, explicit dates and times for starting and ending periods must be set. The format for 'start_hour' is numeric.
`end_date`	an ending date intended for the UP.DAT output should be supplied if 'export_all_times' is set to FALSE (the default). The date should be supplied as a string in the format "YYYY-MM-DD".
`end_hour`	an ending hour must accompany the entry for 'end_date'. With 'export_all_times' set to FALSE, explicit dates and times for starting and ending periods must be set. The format for 'end_hour' is numeric.
`top_pressure_level`	the top pressure level to which sounding data should be constrained. A numeric value, representing atmospheric pressure in hPa units, should be supplied.
