Source: R/get_vpts.R
get_vpts.Rd

Gets vertical profile time series data from supported sources and returns it as a (list of) of vpts objects or a dplyr::tibble().

Usage

get_vpts(
  radar,
  datetime,
  source = c("baltrad", "uva", "ecog-04003", "rmi"),
  return_type = c("vpts", "tibble")
)

Arguments

radar

Name of the radar (odim code) as a character string (e.g. "nlhrw" or "fikor").

datetime

Either:

  • A POSIXct datetime (or character representation), for which the data file is downloaded.

  • A Date date (or character representation), for which all data files are downloaded.

  • A vector of datetimes or dates, between which all data files are downloaded.

  • A lubridate::interval(), between which all data files are downloaded.

source

Source of the data. One of "baltrad", "uva", "ecog-04003" or "rmi". Only one source can be queried at a time. If not provided, "baltrad" is used.

return_type

Type of object that should be returned. Either:

Value

Either a vpts object, a list of vpts objects or a tibble. See bioRad::summary.vpts for details.

Details

For more details on supported sources, see vignette("supported_sources").

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
# Get VPTS data for a single radar and date
get_vpts(radar = "bejab", datetime = "2023-01-01", source = "baltrad")
get_vpts(radar = "bejab", datetime = "2020-01-19", source = "rmi")

# Get VPTS data for multiple radars and a single date
get_vpts(
  radar = c("dehnr", "deflg"),
  datetime = lubridate::ymd("20171015"),
  source = "baltrad"
)

# Get VPTS data for a single radar and a date range
get_vpts(
  radar = "bejab",
  datetime = lubridate::interval(
    lubridate::ymd_hms("2023-01-01 00:00:00"),
    lubridate::ymd_hms("2023-01-02 00:14:00")
  ),
  source = "baltrad"
)
get_vpts("bejab", lubridate::interval("20210101", "20210301"))

# Get VPTS data for a single radar, date range and non-default source
get_vpts(radar = "bejab", datetime = "2016-09-29", source = "ecog-04003")

# Return a tibble instead of a vpts object
get_vpts(
  radar = "chlem",
  datetime = "2023-03-10",
  source = "baltrad",
  return_type = "tibble"
)
