readhourlyssival: Read hourly SSI validation data

In steingod/R-osisaf: Useful functions for handling EUMETSAT Ocean and Sea Ice SAF data

Description

This function is a wrapper for the read.table function specifying variable names for the column oriented validation format used for the validation of OSISAF radiative fluxes. This specific version is dedicated to validation of estimates against hourly measurements using pyranometers.

The format of the input validation data may differ according to the underlying observational data as some networks have additional information to the irradiance measurements. E.g. the Bioforsk stations include observations of the number of minutes with direct insolation at the station during the last hour.

Usage

    readhourlyssival(file, format="bioforsk")

Arguments

file	Filename to read, including full path
format	Valid formats are bioforsk and compact

Value

data.frame as returned by read.table
