Wrapper for NOAA GCHN data extraction pipeline. This function will setup global variables, gather information and urls on data and metadata and download the data.

noaa_swdi_extract(
  year_periods = 1995:1995,
  noaa_swdi_ind_tiles,
  noaa_swdi_type,
  data_folder = "data",
  dat_flag = "noaa_swdi",
  remove = FALSE,
  data_dl_method = "libcurl",
  url = NULL,
  metadata_dirname = "metadata"
)

Arguments

year_periods	(numeric) : 1800:1800 (default) array of years to be downloaded
noaa_swdi_ind_tiles	(integer) : A value in `{0, 1}`, with 1 indicating that tiles data is to be downloaded and extracted, and 0 indicating non-tiles data is to be downloaded and extracted
noaa_swdi_type	(character) : Specifying the type of NOAA-SWDI data to download and extract. Can be one of the following values: `hail, mda, meso, nldn, plsr, structure, tvs, warn`
data_folder	(character) : "data" (default) data folder name
dat_flag	(character) : "noaa_swdi_daily" (default) name of the data - will appear as data folder name when data are saved
remove	(logical) : FALSE (default) remove .zip file after extraction
data_dl_method	(character) : "libcurl" (default) data download method
url	(character) : NULL (default) data url - the default one is encoded in the function body
metadata_dirname	(character) : "metadata" (default) metadata folder name

Examples

if (FALSE) {
noaa_swdi_extract(year_periods = 1995:1996,
                  noaa_swdi_ind_tiles = 1,
                  noaa_swdi_type = "hail")
