The RAWSmet R package is being developed for the
USFS AirFire group to help modelers and scientists more easily work with
weather data from RAWS stations across North America.
The package makes it easier to obtain data, perform analyses and
generate reports. It includes functionality to:
- Access metadata and archival timeseries data from https://cefa.dri.edu/raws
- Access metadata and latest month timeseries data from https://raws.dri.edu
- Save and reload .rda versions of these in a
rawsDataDir
- Determine which locations obtained from metadata are too close to be
considered “unique” locations
- Convert between UTC and local timezones
- Apply various algorithms to the data 5rolling means, aggregation,
etc.
- Provide interactive timeseries and maps through RStudio’s Viewer
pane
- Create a variety of publication ready maps and timeseries plots
