Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN)

These functions give access to the NOAA Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN), which includes an hourly, daily, and monthly product, all of which can be accessed by worldmet. The GHCN includes many useful parameters such as wind speed and direction, temperature, atmospheric pressure, precipitation and snowfall.

Import Metadata

import_ghcn_stations()

Import station metadata for the Global Historical Climatology Network

import_ghcn_inventory()

Import station inventory for the Global Historical Climatology Network

import_ghcn_countries()

Import FIPS country codes and State/Province/Territory codes used by the Global Historical Climatology Network

Import Measurements

import_ghcn_hourly()

Import data from the Global Historical Climatology hourly (GHCNh) database

import_ghcn_daily()

Import data from the Global Historical Climatology daily (GHCNd) database

import_ghcn_monthly_temp() import_ghcn_monthly_prcp()

Import data from the Global Historical Climatology monthly (GHCNm) database

Integrated Surface Database (ISD)

These functions access data from the NOAA Integrated Surface Database (ISD), a global database that consists of hourly and synoptic surface observations compiled from numerous sources into a single common ASCII format and common data model. The ISD includes numerous parameters such as wind speed and direction, wind gust, temperature, dew point, cloud data, sea level pressure, altimeter setting, station pressure, present weather, visibility, precipitation amounts for various time periods, snow depth, and various other elements as observed by each station.

Import Metadata
