Given a latitude and longitude value entered as decimal degrees (DD),
this function returns a list of STNID values, which can be used in
get_GSOD to query for specific stations as an argument in the
station parameter of that function.
nearest_stations(LAT, LON, distance)
| LAT | Latitude expressed as decimal degrees (DD) [WGS84] |
|---|---|
| LON | Longitude expressed as decimal degrees (DD) [WGS84] |
| distance | Distance in kilometres from point for which stations are to be returned. |
vector object of station identification numbers
