worldmet 1.0.0

Dependency Changes

• arrow has been added as a suggested dependency.

• leaflet has been downgraded to a suggested dependency. When a user requests a met station map they will be prompted to install leaflet if it is not already installed.

• mirai and carrier have been upgrade to imported dependencies. This is because they are always required by purrr::in_parallel() regardless of whether parallelisation is being used or not.

New Features

The Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN) has officially superseded NOAA's Integrated Surface Database (ISD). Many changes in this release are related to this external change.

• Added import_ghcn_stations(), import_ghcn_inventory(), and import_ghcn_countries() to grant access to metadata for the GHCN.

• Added import_ghcn_hourly(), import_ghcn_daily() and import_ghcn_monthly() to grant access to the GHCNh, GHCNd and CHCNm services.

• Added import_isd_stations(), import_isd_hourly() and import_isd_lite() to provide a consistent API with the newly added GHCN functions.

• Added write_met(), which allows for hourly ISD and GHCN and daily GHCN data to be easily split into years and sites and written to file. This is a more flexible alternative to using importNOAA(path=).

Deprecations

Several functions have been deprecated and replaced due to the updated worldmet API:

• getMeta() -> import_isd_stations()

• getMetaLive() -> import_isd_stations_live()

• importNOAA() -> import_isd_hourly()

• importNOAAlite() -> import_isd_lite()

• exportADMS() -> write_adms()

• the path argument -> write_met()

Bug Fixes

• rlang::%||% is now explicitly imported by worldmet to avoid issues in old version of R.
