ERA5 data download and processing for point locations
Source:R/aliases.R, R/core.R
era5ify_point.RdDownloads and processes ERA5 climate data for specific point locations.
Usage
ERA5ifyPoint(...)
era5ify_point(
request_id,
variables,
start_date,
end_date,
lat,
lon,
dataset_type = "single",
pressure_levels = NULL,
frequency = "hourly",
save_raw = FALSE,
output_dir = tempdir(),
use_cache = TRUE,
convert_units = TRUE,
verbose = FALSE
)Arguments
- ...
Arguments passed to the main function (used by aliases).
- request_id
Unique identifier for the data request.
- variables
List of ERA5 variables to download.
- start_date
Start date in "YYYY-MM-DD" format.
- end_date
End date in "YYYY-MM-DD" format.
- lat
Latitude of the point location.
- lon
Longitude of the point location.
- dataset_type
Type of dataset ("single" or "pressure").
- pressure_levels
Pressure levels for pressure dataset.
- frequency
Temporal frequency ("hourly", "daily", "monthly").
- save_raw
Whether to save raw downloaded files.
- output_dir
Directory to save files (default: tempdir()).
- use_cache
Whether to use cached data if available (default: TRUE).
- convert_units
Whether to convert units to user-friendly formats (default: TRUE). When TRUE, temperature variables are returned in Celsius (converted from Kelvin) and precipitation variables are returned in mm (converted from meters).
- verbose
Whether to print detailed progress messages.
Value
data.frame with processed climate data. When convert_units = TRUE:
Temperature variables (e.g., 2m_temperature): Celsius
Precipitation variables (e.g., total_precipitation): mm
Other variables: original ERA5 units
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
setup_cds_credentials(key = "your-cds-api-key")
data <- era5ify_point(
request_id = "my_request",
variables = c("2m_temperature", "total_precipitation"),
start_date = "2023-01-01",
end_date = "2023-01-31",
lat = 40.7128,
lon = -74.0060
)
# Temperature is in Celsius, precipitation is in mm
} # }
