nasapower is now a part of rOpenSci after peer-review of the code!
Provides access to all three communities, AG, SSE and and SB, not just AG
Uses new ‘POWER’ ‘API’ to download new 1/2 x 1/2 degree data
Adds function get_power()
to get weather data and optionally metadata as well
Adds function create_met()
to create ‘APSIM’ met objects from ‘POWER’ data
Adsd function create_icasa()
to create a text file of weather data for use in ‘DSSAT’ crop modelling
Internally, replaces httr package with crul
get_cell
and get_region
functions are deprecated in favour of get_power()
. The new POWER interface allows for the specification of single points or regional areas. Global coverage may be queryed for Climatology. See the help for ?get_power()
for more details.Fix bug where lon/lat values were improperly assigned internally due to row names not being ordered correctly in get_region()
Fix bug reports link in DESCRIPTION file
Correct vignette where it had said, “both of which will which will download”
Correct documentation for get_region()
, which incorrectly stated that it downloaded data for a 1 x 1 degree cell
Optimise arguments used in utils::read.table()
to ingest weather data in the get_cell()
and get_region()
functions more quickly
NEWS now formatted more nicely for easier reading
Add statement about possible performance and memory usage when using get_region()
in the vignette
Add an example of converting the data frame to a spatial object using raster to create a raster::brick()
Specify in documentation that a range of days to years can be specified for download
get_region()
with multiple dates. https://github.com/ropensci/nasapower/issues/1
Add new functionality to download regions in addition to single cells
Add static documentation website, https://ropensci.github.io/nasapower/
Add startup message
