emyweather is an R package that contains climatic data from the Greek National Meteorological Service, as well as a number of useful other related data sets. The climatic data come from 21 weather stations, with a time step of 3 hours and the time period is from 1975 to 2004. For more details checkout the package's website.
You can install emyweather from github with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("kvantas/emyweather")This package is comprised of three data sets:
emy_data: climatic measurementsemy_stations: weather stations' coordinates and elevationborders: borders of Greece
The variables in this data set are:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| date | The observation's date |
| station_id | Greek National Meteorological Service station ID |
| pressure | Pressure, in hPa |
| dry_temp | Dry temperature, in degree Celsius |
| wet_temp | Wet temperature, in degree Celsius |
| max_temp | Maximum temperature, in degree Celsius |
| min_temp | Minimum temperature, in degree Celsius |
| rel_humidity | Relative humidity, in percent |
| wind_direction | Wind direction, in degrees |
| wind_force_knot | Wind force, in knots |
| visibility | Visibility, in km |
| total_cloud_amount | Total cloud amount, in values 0 to 9 |
| precipitation | Precipitation height, in mm |
Please note that these time series are not checked for consistency or errors.
The stations' data are taken from the Greek National Data Bank for Hydrological and Meteorological Information, Hydroscope using the package hydroscoper. The variables are:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| name | The station's name |
| station_id | Greek National Meteorological Service station ID |
| hydroscope_id | The station's ID from kyy.hydroscope.gr database |
| water_division | The station's Water Division |
| longitude | The station's longitude in decimal degrees, ETRS89 |
| latitude | The station's latitude in decimal degrees, ETRS89 |
| altitude | The station's altitude, meters above sea level |
The borders of Greece are taken from Geoadata.gov.gr. The variables are created using the function tidy from the broom package for use with geom_polygon from ggplot2.
