climate 1.2.2

• Major fixes for adjusting code to stay in line with CRAN policies
• Fixes for hydro_imgw() set of functions due to changes in encoding and metadata structure

climate 1.2.1

• Corrected duplicated column names for IMGW-PIB stations
• Adjusted encoding changes and documentation updates in meteo_imgw_telemetry_stations()

climate 1.2.0

• Corrected encoding problems for some of platforms where IMGW-PIB metadata were not parsed correctly
• Added location of IMGW-PIB telemetry stations within meteo_imgw_telemetry_stations()
• Minor bug fixes

climate 1.1.1

• Fix problems with downloading precip dataset from IMGW-PIB repository after recent changes in metadata
• Bug fix for ogimet_daily if data contains more than one year

climate 1.1.0

• A new approach for handling CRAN policy for resolving problems if network issues are detected or some of the external services are temporarily down.
• Adding allow_failure argument used by default that turns off automatic debugging but avoid warnings and errors for most typical use cases
• re-factoring of unit tests
• documentation build with CI/CD
• updating vignettes and examples, including the way to use climate with Python

climate 1.0.5

• meteo_imgw family of functions supports multiple names as argument - bug fix
• unit tests and code coverage computed with CI/CD
• units added to column labels for nearest_stations_ set of functions instead of column names for easier processing (e.g. [km] are visible now only as attributes)
• new functions follow lintr settings

climate 1.0.4

• Function spheroid_dist added to improve accuracy of calculations between points, but also avoid installing GIS dependencies (thanks to @kadyb)
• Function nearest_stations_imgw() now uses the Vincenty’s formula in spheroid_dist to calculate the distance between points on a spheroid, not the Euclidean distance (previously results were inaccurate for some specific cases)
• minor bugs fixes and improvements

climate 1.0.3

• Adding possibility to download BUFR vertical sounding dataset from http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/sounding.html; extra information with supporting example added to the sounding_wyoming’s documentation
• hydro_imgw supports now exception for current year which has no flow data until it is verified by the IMGW-PIB
• ogimet_daily automatically detects column names to be used for extraction in final data.frame; extra debugging info when temperature or precipitation columns are missing
• minor changes in documentation (e.g. updated links to NOAA website)

climate 1.0.1

• Adding data.table package to read CP1250 on machines that do not support this encoding (translit used instead)

climate 0.9.9

• Changing URL danepubliczne.imgw.pl to dane.imgw.pl where needed
• Fixing minor ogimet and IMGW bugs
• Do not stop downloading data from ogimet.com, instead check for all available data in given period of time

climate 0.9.8

• Adding informative message if problems with NOAA hourly dataset occur
• Informative message if problems with downloading detected for non-IMGW dataset

climate 0.9.7

• stop working if no internet connection detected

climate 0.9.6

• Adding nearest_stations_noaa for NOAA hourly dataset

climate 0.9.5

• Following CRAN policies
  • Adding information if connection issues detected or URL no accessible
  • RCurl dependency removal
  • CO2 & Wyoming examplary data can be loaded offline

climate 0.9.4

• New dataset:
  • Hourly NOAA ISH (Integrated Surface Hourly) data - global meteorological dataset dated back up to 1900

climate 0.9.3

• Bug fixes
  • #27
• New datasets:
  • CO2 concentration from Mauna Loa observatory

climate 0.9.2

• Bug fixes
  • #26

climate 0.9.1

• climate is independent of imgw package
• Bug fixes
  • #24
• restored possibility of downloading single station from Polish (IMGW) repository

climate 0.3

• improves API

climate 0.2

• splits imgw into two packages: imgw and climate

imgw 0.1.1

• New datasets
  • Synop data from ogimet (http://ogimet.com/index.phtml.en)
• New functions
• adding function for reading station’s coordinates from “Ogimet” webportal
  • ogimet() - downloading Synop hourly or monthly data from the “Ogimet” webportal
    • ogimet_hourly() - downloading Synop hourly data from the “Ogimet” webportal
    • ogimet_daily() - downloading Synop daily aggregates from the “Ogimet” webportal
  • ogimet_stations() - retrieving geographical coordinates, altitude, WMO IDs and station names for the user-specified country nam; optionally plot results on a map
• Improvements
• Bug fixes
  • Fixes a bug in the hydro_daily() that prevented from merging more than 1 dataset

imgw 0.1.0

• Deploying the package on CRAN!
• New functions
  • New function meteo() for downloading monthly, daily, and hourly meteorological data
  • New function meteo_monthly() for downloading monthly meteorological data
  • New function meteo_daily() for downloading daily meteorological data
  • New function meteo_hourly() for downloading hourly meteorological data
  • New function hydro() for downloading semiannual and annual, monthly, and daily hydrological data
  • New function hydro_annual() for downloading semiannual and annual hydrological data
  • New function hydro_monthly() for downloading monthly hydrological data
  • New function hydro_daily() for downloading daily hydrological data
  • New function meteo_metadata() for downloading the metadata of the meteorological data
