IMGW meteorological data from the IMGW datastore repository

Source: R/meteo_imgw_datastore.R

Downloading hourly (meteorological) data from the telemetric stations available in the danepubliczne.imgw.pl/datastore collection since 2008. Most parameters are collected with 10 minutes interval and thus it is recommended to download only the mandatory years, parameters or stations. For example, 1 year of data with all available parameters requires processing around 4GB of uncompressed data.

meteo_imgw_datastore(
  year,
  parameters = NULL,
  stations = NULL,
  coords = TRUE,
  allow_failure = TRUE
)

Arguments

year

numeric vector of years to be downloaded (e.g., 2022:2023)

parameters

  • character vector describing which parameters to be downloaded. Default NULL means to download all available.

    1. "wd" - wind direction (degrees)

    2. "t2m" - temperature at 2 metres above ground level (degree Celsius)

    3. "t0m" - ground temperature (degree Celsius)

    4. "rr_24h" - precipitation totals for last 24 hours (mm)

    5. "rr_1h" - precipitation totals for last 1 hour (mm)

    6. "rr_10min" - precipitation totals for last 10 minutes (mm)

    7. "ws" - wind speed (m/s)

    8. "ws_max" - maximum wind speed for last 10 minutes (m/s)

    9. "gust" - wind gust (if present) (m/s)

    10. "rh" - relative humidity (%)

    11. "water_in_snow" - water equivalent of melted snow cover (mm)

stations

  • character vector with station names as visible in the meteo_imgw_telemetry_stations(). Default NULL means to download data for all available stations.

coords

  • logical - whether to append the dataset with station full name, longitude, latitude and altitude. Default: TRUE

allow_failure

logical - whether to proceed or stop on failure. By default set to TRUE (i.e. don't stop on error). For debugging purposes change to FALSE

Value

data.frame with a raw meteorological measurements in 10-min intervals

Details

Data from the IMGW automated (telemetry) systems are non validated by experts and may contain invalid values.
