Access to several Numerical Weather Prediction services both in raster format and as a time series for a location.

Description

meteoForecast is a package to access outputs from Numerical Weather Prediction models both in raster format and as a time series for a location. Currenty it works with GFS, MeteoGalicia, NAM, and RAP.

Details

getRaster, getRasterDay, and getRasterDays get data inside a bounding box and provide a multilayer raster data using the RasterBrick class defined in the package raster.
