Contributions to weatherOZ #2

Open deanmarchiori opened 3 weeks ago

deanmarchiori commented 3 weeks ago

The weatherOz package has recently been developed and submitted to CRAN. This is the culmination of lots of effort from the code development group stemming from the predecessor package {bomrang}. It would be good to see if the package maintainers had any available issues we could contribute to during the hackathon.

Getting the AGCD (formerly AWAP) data could be a nice add-on? It's available under a Creative Commons Licence, https://geonetwork.nci.org.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/f1801_8183_3094_1341

Best I can tell they (NCI) don't mind if you programmatically access data,

Offering a variety of services, THREDDS enables users to access individual files and utilize advanced features such as OpenDAP, NetCDF subsetting, and OGC WCS and WMS. Additionally, the server is programmatically accessible, making it a preferred choice for many advanced tools and portals. (emphasis mine)
