get_GSOD not downloading data from selected year

[emdelponte]

• I am trying to download data for a specific year-station. For example:

Lond_2005 <- get_GSOD(years = 2005, station = "837660-99999")

It is returning only 2010 irrespectively of the chosen year.

$ YEAR <chr> "2010", "2010", "2010", "2010", "2010", "2010",...

• Is there a way to download data from multiple/interval of years? something like c(2010:2014)

I discovered something. For some reason the new data frame is not downloading the requested year. In the example below, it keeps loading the 2005 year for the newly created get2 data frame.

get1 <- get_GSOD(years = 2005, station = "955510-99999")

get2 <- get_GSOD(years = 2006, station = "955510-99999")

Well that's interesting. I'll look into it. Thanks Emerson.

I did more tests and notice that the new data frame preserves the data from the previous one. So, if there are 365 observations in get1, get2(from the example above) will have double! It is working as rbind function.

Also noticed that BR stations did not have PRCP data for the years I want. Also, some stations have limited coverage :(

I've fixed issue #2.

Boarding my plane now. Will push to GH later

In devel branch now

[adamhsparks]

Well, I thought it was fixed, apparently not

Hi @emdelponte, I think I've fixed the second issue, which I'm guessing is related to the 1st, I think you might have run a query for 2010 before 2005?

I think this first issue is related to #33, I still need to fix that.

The fix for #34 is in the Main branch now.

As for your question about multiple years, yes, a vector like 2005:2010 will work to download multiple years.
