Open brenwin1 opened 2 years ago
Just to add on what Brenwin said, the near-surface wind speed data is only available up until 2018. Therefore, we would need to find more data on this. ASOS provides wind speed data but just like what Patrick mentioned in the thesis, there is only a limited number of stations available in Victoria, which wouldn't be sufficient to do the fire risk modelling.
Another option is to use the BOM data that Patrick has in his GoogleDrive but this data is only up to April 2020
Did Patrick give you some more details? Sorry, I keep forgetting to check on this. There are several alternatives to bomrang now. @zhanghuize-sherry is also an expert.
Wind measurements are few and far between though.

rnoaa is the best, stationaRy also, but rnoaa has all of stationaRy data too.

During the NUMBAT meeting on March 10, 2021, I remember some introduce the collection of spatial data in R.
https://github.com/rspatialdata/rspatialdata.github.io
I think it might contain wind speed data.
Thanks for the rcommendations! Will look into them
Update so far, I was able to count the number of bushfires ignitions per month.
But we are having a hard time downloading weather variables data. Does anyone have any suggestions how we might approach this?
I am currently trying to download data from ERA5 as suggested by Emily; my request is still queued at the moment. Data are comprenhensive and provide estimates over a whole range of weather variables from satellite data. *will update status tomorrow.
bomrang is not updated since BOM decided their data should not be easily accessed. I could download the data from their website. However, it involves a lot of manual work downloading data for each weather station and variable.
While other alternatives are usually paid service such as meteoblue
