worldmet (development version)

Bug Fixes

  • fix join problem due to dplyr updates.

  • fix spelling mistakes

worldmet 0.9.6

CRAN release: 2022-10-05

New Features

  • importNOAA() will now display a progress bar when multiple years of met data are to be imported.

  • Improved the formatting of the popups in getMeta() in line with openairmaps::networkMap().

  • Added the provider argument to getMeta(), allowing for users to define one or more leaflet basemaps. Uses the same default as openairmaps::networkMap().

  • exportADMS() now invisibly returns the input data, in line with, e.g., readr::write_csv().

worldmet 0.9.5

CRAN release: 2021-04-20

Bug Fixes

  • do not add precip to exportADMS()

  • Cloud cover data mostly spans 1 to 8 Oktas and no zero (clear sky); use ceil_hgt = 220000 (unlimited) to indicate clear sky when cloud cover is reported as missing.

  • Do not use ftp for site information.

worldmet 0.9.4

CRAN release: 2021-04-09

Bug Fixes

  • Fix precipitation. The precip_12 gives the sum of the precipitation over the past 12 hours and the sum of this column should be the annual total in mm. precip spreads the 12-hour total evenly across the previous 12 hours. worldmet no longer tries to combine 12 and 6 hour totals.

worldmet 0.9.3

CRAN release: 2021-03-29

Bug Fixes

  • Catch missing data error and report missing when importing data using importNOAA()

worldmet 0.9.2

CRAN release: 2020-09-17

worldmet 0.8.8

CRAN release: 2020-02-12

New Features

  • deprecate fresh option in getMeta().
  • Assume 9999 is missing for visibility (was 999999)

CRAN release: 2018-02-27
