Additions from ROpenSci Unconference (Spring 2016)

geanders commented 8 years ago

This pull requests incorporates work started at the spring's ROpenSci Unconference. Specific elements of this pull request are:

Vignette showing how to use rnoaa to pull weather data that can then be used in conjunction with air pollution data pulled using OpenAQ ("rnoaa_openaq.RMD").
Added text to help files for ghcnd_* family of functions to provide users more details and clarify differences between different functions in the family (all associated change are in the "ghcnd.R" file).
Added meteo_nearby_stations function, to identify stations near a latitude-longitude pair for Global Historical Climatology Network daily weather data (defined in "meteo_distance.R" file).
Added meteo_pull_monitors, to pull Global Historical Climatology Network daily weather data from multiple monitors with a single function call (defined in "helpers_ghcnd.R" file).
Added meteo_show_cache and meteo_clear_cache functions, for cache management (both files in "meteo_cache.r") (other functions we're adding do not rely on these functions).
Added meteo_coverage function to determine the coverage (percent of non-missing weather observations over dates pulled) for each weather monitor (in "meteo_utils.R" file), with its own method for plotting coverage.
Added vis_miss function to visualize missingness in a dataframe, including weather dataframes generated with rnoaa
Various helper functions to use with the above new functions.
Added basic tests for the two main functions added in this PR (in "test-meteo.R" file)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time on this pull request.

Would you let me know the next time you submit a version of rnoaa to CRAN? I have a student working on a package that builds on some of these functions, so it will be good to know for getting the dependencies straight in her package code.

Best,

Brooke
