Purpose

Interfacing the GeoSphere Austria Data Hub (formerly known as ZAMG; Austrian national weather service). Their API provides a series of publicly available meteorological/climatological data sets. Currently, this package only allows to download stationdata (no gridded/spatial data).

Installation

This package is available via github. The simplest way to install is to use remotes as follows:

library("remotes")
install_github("retostauffer/gsdata")

This will automatically resolve reverse dependencies. Note that the sf package may need additional libraries to be installed on your system (geos, proj4). For details please read the installation instructions on https://r-spatial.github.io/sf/.

Dependencies

The package depends on:

• httr: for data requests
• zoo: time series data
• sf: spatial information
• parsedate: parsing dates
