+#' GSODR: Global Surface Summary Daily Weather Data in R.
+#'
+#'The GSODR package is an R package that provides a function that
+#'automates downloading and cleaning data from the "Global Surface
+#'Summary of the Day (GSOD)" weather station data provided by the US National
+#'Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Station files are individually checked for number
+#'of missing days to assure data quality, stations with too many missing
+#'observations are omitted. All units are converted to International System of
+#'Units (SI), e.g., inches to millimetres and Fahrenheit to Celsius. Output is
+#'saved as a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file or in a spatial GeoPackage
+#'(GPKG) file, implemented by most major GIS software, summarising each
+#'year by station, which also includes vapour pressure and relative
+#'humidity variables calculated from existing data in GSOD.
