Package 'PEcAn.GDAY'

met2model.GDAY

Description

Function to convert NetCDF met files in PEcAn-CF format into GDAY met driver files. This function is an R wrapper to the python script "generate_forcing_data.py" in the inst/ folder. The python script supports arguments to generate sub-daily (30 min) weather data as well as soil temperature from 6 day running mean. These arguments are hard-coded in this function to generate daily GDAY files without soil temperature.

Usage

met2model.GDAY(
  in.path,
  in.prefix,
  outfolder,
  start_date,
  end_date,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

in.path	location on disk where inputs are stored
in.prefix	prefix of input and output files
outfolder	location on disk where outputs will be stored
start_date	the start date of the data to be downloaded (will only use the year part of the date)
end_date	the end date of the data to be downloaded (will only use the year part of the date)
overwrite	should existing files be overwritten
verbose	should the function be very verbose
...	additional arguments, currently ignored
