Changelog

worldmet (development version)

• fix join problem due to dplyr updates.

worldmet 0.9.6

CRAN release: 2022-10-05

• 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

• do not add precip to ADMS export

• 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

• 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

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

worldmet 0.9.2

CRAN release: 2020-09-17

• Exporting weatherCodes so that everything works when used by other packages through “explicit namespacing”” (e.g. worldmet::importNOAA()) without having to library(worldmet).

worldmet 0.9.1

• fix bug when lat and lon provided in getMeta
• fix bug when several years are selected and columns are different lengths when n.core = 1

worldmet 0.9.1

• Significant changes due to NOAA storage formats and different storage locations
• Remove options for precipitation and present weather in importNOAA; just return everything
• Return data as tibble

worldmet 0.8.8

CRAN release: 2020-02-12

• export getMetaLive to allow users direct access to all meta data and easy re-use without re-downloading.
• deprecate fresh option in getMeta.
• Assume 9999 is missing for visibility (was 999999)
• add option path to allow users to save met data as an rds file.
• fix short WBAN codes.
• make sure all meta data are used and not only sites with most recent year

worldmet 0.8.4

CRAN release: 2018-02-27

• query live meta data when using getMeta
• fix bug when data not available for a year when using parallel processing
• parallel processing for sites and years
• use read_csv for meta data (read.csv seems very slow in R 3.4.3)
