Export a meteorological data frame in ADMS format

Source: R/write_adms.R
write_adms.Rd

Writes a text file in the ADMS format to a location of the user's choosing, with optional interpolation of missing values. At present this function only works with data from import_isd_hourly(); it will later be expanded to work with import_ghcn_hourly() also.

Usage

write_adms(x, file = "./ADMS_met.MET", interp = FALSE, max_gap = 2)

Arguments

x

A data frame imported by import_isd_hourly().

file

A file name for the ADMS file. The file is written to the working directory by default.

interp

Should interpolation of missing values be undertaken? If TRUE linear interpolation is carried out for gaps of up to and including max_gap.

max_gap

The maximum gap in hours that should be interpolated where there are missing data when interp = TRUE. Data with gaps more than max_gap are left as missing.

Value

write_adms() returns the input dat invisibly.

# import some data then export it

} # }
