historical weather data #49

Closed rmgarnett closed 8 years ago

rmgarnett commented 8 years ago

It would be great to have daily historical weather data (to include t_min, t_max, and precipitation) for Maricopa (or a nearby location) available somewhere. I will use this to build a weather model to base the regression on.

Here is one for 1979-2010. Is that a long enough time series?

maricopa_daily_met.csv.txt

For (mostly my own) reference here is the R code to extract the data

library(PEcAn.data.atmosphere)
library(PEcAn.BIOCRO)
metfile <- nc_open("/projects/arpae/met/narr/all.nc")
lat <- 33.075   
lon <- -111.975
x <- load.cfmet(metfile, lat, lon, start.date = ymd('1979-01-01'), end.date = ymd('2010-12-31'))
y <- data.table(cf2biocro(x))
z <- y[,list(tmin = min(Temp), tmax = max(Temp), precip = sum(precip)), by = 'year,doy']

Perfect for now, thank you! Closing the issue; will open a new issue if something goes awry.

PS Temperature in C and precipitation in mm / d
