In zoey-rw/ICARTTr: Opening and Processing ICARTT files

ICARTTr

An R package for reading ICARTT time-series files

This package is for reading and interacting with files in the ICARTT (International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation) format. From ICARTT File Format Standards V2.0:

"The ICARTT file format is text-based and composed of a header section (metadata) with critical data description information (e.g., data source, uncertainties, contact information, and brief overview of measurement technique), and a data section. Although it was primarily designed for airborne data, the ICARTT format proved to be practical for other mobile and ground-based studies and various data types."

This package is still in its infancy. Major to-dos: add example data, test on various machines. Currently only handles one-dimensional time-series data (FFI: 1001).

Functions:

read.ict() - reading in an ICARTT file as a data frame

ict.header() - parsing header and providing informative labels

ict.varnames() - printing variable names/units

ict.var() - extracting variable values by name

ict.flightpath() - plotting simple flight path

ict.to.csv() - converting ICARTT file to CSV

ict.to.json() - converting ICARTT file to JSON

Examples to come at some point!
