Coerce Data Into a met Object
Description
Coerces a dataset into a met dataset. This fills in only a few of the typical
data fields, so the returned object is much
sparser than the output from read.met(). Also, almost no
metadata fields are filled in, so the resultant object does not store
station location, units of the data, data-quality flags, etc. Anyone working
with data from Environment Canada (reference 2) is advised to use read.met()
instead of the present function.
Usage
as.met(time, temperature, pressure, u, v, filename = "(constructed from data)")
Arguments
time |
Either a vector of observation times (or character strings that can be
coerced into times) or the output from |
temperature |
vector of temperatures. |
pressure |
vector of pressures. |
u |
vector of eastward wind speed in m/s. |
v |
vector of northward wind speed in m/s. |
filename |
optional string indicating data source |
Value
A met object.
