Documented in isd_stations_search

#' Search for NOAA ISD/ISH station data from NOAA FTP server.
#'
#' @export
#' @param lat (numeric) Latitude, in decimal degree
#' @param lon (numeric) Latitude, in decimal degree
#' @param radius (numeric) Radius (in km) to search from the lat,lon 
#' coordinates
#' @param bbox (numeric) Bounding box, of the form: min-longitude, 
#' min-latitude, max-longitude, max-latitude
#'
#' @references https://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/noaa/
#'
#' @return a data.frame with the columns:
#' 
#' - usaf - USAF number, character
#' - wban - WBAN number, character
#' - station_name - station name, character
#' - ctry - Country, if given, character
#' - state - State, if given, character
#' - icao - ICAO number, if given, character
#' - lat - Latitude, if given, numeric
#' - lon - Longitude, if given, numeric
#' - elev_m - Elevation, if given, numeric
#' - begin - Begin date of data coverage, of form YYYYMMDD, numeric
#' - end - End date of data coverage, of form YYYYMMDD, numeric
#' - distance - distance (km) (only present if using lat/lon/radius
#'  parameter combination)
#'
#'
#' @details We internally call [isd_stations()] to get the data.frame
#' of ISD stations, which is quite fast as long as it's not the first time
#' called since we cache the table. Before searching, we clean up the
#' data.frame, removing stations with no lat/long coordinates, those with
#' impossible lat/long coordinates, and those at 0,0.
#'
#' When lat/lon/radius input we use [meteo_distance()] to search
#' for stations, while when bbox is input, we simply use
#' [dplyr::filter()]
